Cody Hamilton, 35, was taken into custody following a stop around 1:10 a.m. in the area of the 700 block of Seventh Street near Lincoln Avenue, according to a probable cause affidavit filed by Officer Sarah Haluda of the Bedford Police Department.
Haluda said she stopped a maroon sedan after observing issues with the vehicle’s registration. During the stop, officers noted inconsistent statements from the occupants and signs of nervous behavior. Officer Bell arrived to assist, and a police K-9 conducted a free-air sniff of the vehicle, which resulted in a positive alert for the presence of illegal drugs, police said.
