Man Arested on Drug Charges
Fulton County authorities have detained a man they say had drugs in his car when he was stopped yesterday evening.

The Fulton County Sheriffs Department says authorities conducted a traffic stop on Route 9 east of Canton around 20 minutes to 9 last night after it was observed to be speeding.

Deputies say a Sheriffs Department K-9 helped discover some form of a controlled substance in the car, but they do not say what was found or how much.

It might have been enough, however to send 57-year old Jesse Dobbs Shivers of Peoria to the Fulton County Jail where he was held without bond.

Shivers faces a charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance, and a citation for speeding.

It's not clear when Shivers will be in court. Deputies say Canton Police assisted them in the stop.
