On Wednesday, August 15, 2018, a Nolan County deputy conducted a traffic stop on a red sedan for defective equipment in the 100 block of Lewis Front, in Sweetwater. Contact was then made with the driver, Dusty Dekota Sutton, of Sweetwater. During a roadside investigation the deputy detected indicators of criminal activity which subsequently led to the discovery of a substantial amount of suspected methamphetamine.

This case will be filed with the 32nd Judicial District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
