Law enforcement officials say multiple anonymous tips led to a traffic stop where several grams of crystal meth were located on Thursday.

The Edmonson County Sheriff's Office reported they received multiple tips that a black 2009 Hyundai and driver was involved in drug activity. Officials said they located the vehicle on KY HWY 743 near Pine Grove Presbyterian Church and a traffic stop was made for items in the windshield that appeared to be obstructing the driver's view.

According to reports, the driver of the car, Lisa Wingfield, 35 of Brownsville told deputies that she was actually on her way to the sheriff's office to offer her help in an unsolved burglary being worked by local police. Deputies said that due to the many complaints regarding drug activity, Tango was deployed in and around the vehicle where he indicated illegal substances were inside.

Deputies said that a small amount of marijuana was found inside the vehicle, then Tango indicated illegal substances on the passenger, Spencer L. Harp, 34 of Bowling Green. A search of the passenger led to the discovery of 9 grams of crystal meth, drug paraphernalia, and a small amount of marijuana, according to reports.
