A Tiffin man stopped for speeding Tuesday night faces felony drug and weapon charges.
44-year-old Joshua Burkholder of Deer View Drive was stopped for speeding near the intersection of Highway 1 and Mormon Trek Boulevard just before 11pm. The vehicle was also stopped due to the registered owner having a suspended license.
A probable cause search was performed on the vehicle, and a bag containing over 50 grams of marijuana, multiple small plastic baggies, a scale, and a box containing bottles of THC syrup. Burkholder, a convicted felon, was also reportedly carrying a knife with a blade in excess of five inches.
He was charged with a controlled substance violation, failure to affix drug stamp, possession of drug paraphernalia, and person ineligible to carry dangerous weapons. If convicted on all counts, Burkholder could be sentenced to over 8 years in prison.
