A Wildwood man was arrested on drug charges when officers found burnt foil at his feet and in his underwear during a traffic stop.
An officer observed a pickup truck, occupied by 30-year-old Edward Anthony Fuchs, traveling south on U.S. Hwy. 27/441 around 2:15 a.m. Saturday, according to an arrest report from the Fruitland Park Police Department. As the vehicle got closer to the intersection with Miller Street, it drifted from the far-right lane into the middle lane. It then drove in both lanes.
A check of the plate revealed the registered owner had been stopped on July 13, 2024, with Fuchs as a passenger. A check of his driver’s license showed he had a Lake County warrant. Seeing this, the officer stopped the vehicle at Citrus Boulevard and Indian Trail in Leesburg, the report said.

A K-9 unit responded to the scene, after which all occupants were asked to step out of the vehicle, the report said…
