Traffic stop leads to arrest of Jasper man on drug charge, driving while revoked


(From the Jasper Police Department)

On Friday, September 8th, 2023 at 1616 hours, I initiated a traffic stop near the intersection of Thorn Rd. and I-49 on a red 1999 Chevrolet tracker with a Missouri license.

Contact with John Gilbert (Jasper), who stated he was revoked. During a pat search for weapons, the officer felt what appeared to be a meth pipe in his front left pocket. When I asked what the item was, Gilbert stated he found it and put it in his pocket.








A glass pipe with white powder residue was taken from his front left pocket. 

Gilbert was taken into custody for driving while revoked and possession of meth related drug paraphernalia.

Note: Gilbert is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
