NEBRASKA CITY –  Michael Scott, 30, of Blair is charged in Otoe County with possession of methamphetamine and deadly weapons, as well as theft and identity theft.

A sheriff’s deputy stopped on F Road for a car with a flat tire and says he saw drug paraphernalia in plain sight after opening a door.

An arrest affidavit says Scott helped the deputy locate methamphetamine in the vehicle.

The deputy also says a knife and a bat with nails sticking through it were found within the driver’s reach.

Court records say a search of the car yielded multiple state IDs and debit cards and a broken cup holder with coins police believe was taken from  a Jeep Cherokee in Nebraska City.
