MERRILL - Merrill Police seem to have found a substantial drug operation thanks to a simple traffic stop.

Sunday night, police pulled over a car driven by 23-year-old Cassiopia Conlin.

Two warrants were already out for her arrest and police took her into custody. They then searched her car and found a large stash of Methamphetamine along with some heroin and LSD.

The two other people in the car with Conlin were arrested too. Those were Jimmie Joannon of Merrill and Danny Hanson of Wausau.

Police also used a search warrant to search Conlin's house on State Street in Merrill. There they found evidence of the use and sales of the drugs.

The three suspects made their initial appearances in Lincoln County Court today.
