Jasper Police Department arrests Liberal men on felony meth charge

(From the Jasper Police Department)

Possession Of Controlled Substance Arrest

On Wednesday, June 6th, 2018 at 1533 hours, a Jasper officer initiated a traffic stop near the intersection of Mercer and 6th St., Jasper, Missouri, on a Nissan Altima in reference to a traffic violation. 

Contact was made with the driver, Dusty Lawson of Liberal. The officer observed signs of being overly nervous for a routine traffic stop. The officer recognized Lawson from a couple weeks prior where a person who was in his vehicle was arrested for possession of meth related paraphernalia. Lawson is currently on probation/parole for possession of a controlled substance.

A search of the vehicle yielded a plastic baggy with about 1/4-1/2 gram of a white crystal substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine.

Lawson was arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance.

Please note..... Lawson is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
