During a routine traffic stop, Dawson County Sheriff’s Department Sergeant Jason Hogan seized 56 grams of methamphetamine, worth nearly $5,000. Hogan originally made the stop just before 2 a.m. Monday morning, Jan. 6 on Hwy. 53 when he noticed a car driving with only one functional headlight. During the encounter with the driver, Frances Emily Cheek of Homer, Hogan noticed what appeared to be a plastic bag sticking out from the driver’s side mirror.
