The police will tell you that a traffic stop often leads to multiple charges. When Casey Burge was stopped for multiple traffic violations on Las Vegas Avenue in Madisonville, the officer learned that he had no valid driver’s license, no auto insurance, and was also wanted on multiple drug charges. The K-9 then detected narcotics. Burge’s passenger was found to be in possession of a digital scale with what appeared to be meth residue on it. Candice Miller was also in possession of a marijuana joint and a large sum of currency. The officer judged Miller to be so intoxicated that she was a danger to herself and others. Together, Burge and Miller were charged with 12 crimes.
