About 3 p.m. Monday, a West Lafayette Police officer saw the vehicle and driver traveling northbound on U.S. 231 near Cumberland Avenue, according to a news release Tuesday. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle near the intersection of U.S. 231 and Sagamore Parkway West, and the driver allegedly threw a bag of suspected methamphetamine out of the window and continued driving, disregarding the officers' emergency lights.
