BRONSON, MI (WTVB) – A Bronson man was formally charged on Friday in Branch County District Court with allegedly being possession of methamphetamine while he was driving a stolen vehicle.
24-year-old Alec Ryan Lucas was arrested by the Southwest Enforcement Team and a Michigan State Police K9 team from the Marshall Post after the stolen vehicle out of LaGrange County, Indiana was found near Bronson.
Troopers stopped the stolen vehicle after seeing it at a residence on Central Road. According to court documents, the vehicle was searched and police found over 44 grams of methamphetamine along with a scale.

A personal recognizance bond of $10,000 was set. A probable cause hearing was scheduled for November 14 with a preliminary exam on November 21.
The arrest came after SWET got tips from Branch County citizens. The Southwest Enforcement Team has been operating in Southwest Michigan since 1981.
