During the traffic stop on the 1300 block of Oak, law enforcement found Akin driving on a suspended vehicle registration. In addition, he didn’t have proof of insurance, his license was suspended, and Akin also had an active Hamilton County arrest warrant. While officers inventoried Akin’s vehicle, they located two open beer cans in the floorboard according to the report and also a small plastic bag that contained what was later identified as meth residue.
