Adam Linhardt, a spokesman for the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, said Rahming was pulled by a deputy after Rahming failed to stop at a stop sign around 12:30 a.m.along Fifth Street on Stock Island. Because of his previous experience with Rahming, the deputy called for a drug-sniffing dog. The dog alerted the deputies to drugs inside Rahming's car, Linhardt said.

Deputies found 26.8 grams of methamphetamine inside the center console, Linhardt said. Deputies also found a digital scale with drug residue and a small amount of marijuana, Linhardt said.
