Hopkins County deputies stopped forty-year-old Robert Matthew Rutledge and an Oklahoma passenger over the weekend for having an obstructed License plate in the 300 block of Hillcrest Dr. in Sulphur Springs—a K-9 located a quantity of methamphetamine in the vehicle as well as a handgun. They charged Rutledge with Possession of a Controlled Substance in a Drug-Free Zone and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. The passenger was arrested on traffic warrants. Both have been released.
