On U.S. 1, Police Find Drugs, Firearm Inside Truck

STAFFORD, Va. – In the early morning of Sept. 6, a male suspect was arrested on Jefferson Davis Highway on several drug charges and possessing a firearm after a Stafford County Sheriff deputy saw the suspect’s car weaving in between lanes. 

Major David P. Decatur said that at around 2 a.m., a Stafford County Sheriff deputy saw a car identified as a “silver-colored Dodge Ram pickup truck” that was traveling south bound on Jefferson Davis Highway. Decatur further said that the deputy on duty noticed that the driver of the car had difficulty staying in the designated lane which prompted the deputy to perform a traffic stop.  

As the deputy conducted the stop and searched the car, multiple drugs and a firearm were found which added up to three separate charges and in addition, the driver of the car will face added legal penalties for hazardous driving, said Decatur.  

During the investigation, the deputy found many items in the car that included a rifle, an unknown amount of cocaine and drug paraphernalia, as well as a large amount of money on the suspect, said Decatur. Lastly, Decatur identified the suspect as Kenneth Wayne Kissenberger, 27, of 5284 Browning Road, of Culpeper and he was sent to Rappahannock Regional Jail while being placed on a $2000 bond.
