Traffic stop becomes trafficking arrest for Crittenden County man

A Crittenden County man was arrested for trafficking following a traffic stop last week in Marion.

Crittenden County Sheriff Evan Head stopped a vehicle driven by 48-year-old Christopher Brantley because his license plate was not illuminated. During the stop, it was determined that Brantley did not have the required insurance to operate the vehicle. Further investigation allegedly uncovered methamphetamine. 

Brantley was arrested and charged with trafficking in meth along with the traffic violations. He was taken to the Crittenden County Detention Center.
