A routine traffic stop for a defective tag light in the early hours of June 3, 2025, led to the discovery of approximately 149 grams of suspected methamphetamine and the arrest of one man on drug distribution charges.

At around 2:13 AM, an Atoka Police officer, on patrol northbound on Highway 69 near 5th Street, observed a silver Hyundai with a nonfunctioning tag light and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle pulled into the private drive of Daniel Express Lube.

Upon approaching the vehicle, the officer detected a strong odor of marijuana. The driver was identified as Doyle Franklin Coleman, with Amanda Jo Riggins in the front passenger seat and Kevin Dewayne Riggins lying in the back. Mr. Coleman provided his driver's license, and Ms. Riggins presented proof of insurance via her cell phone.
