Around 6 a.m. Saturday, deputies saw Lukehart violate New York vehicle and traffic law on Olean Road in the Town of Holland and initiated a traffic stop. An ECSO deputy and K9 Haso searched the vehicle and Haso made positive alerts on a stack of newspapers, where the deputy then found a bag of marijuana.
Lukehart was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, and several vehicle and traffic violations. The defendant was later released on appearance tickets for Holland Town Court.
