A Hershey man has been jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center on numerous felony charges following a traffic stop in North Platte.
At around 2:40 p.m. on Wednesday, a North Platte Police officer witnessed 30-year-old Sean Odean driving a vehicle westbound on West 4th Street in North Platte. The officer was able to confirm that Odean had an active Lincoln County warrant for failure to appear.
The officer initiated a traffic stop and made contact with Odean, who was also found to be driving on a suspended license.
As Odean was being placed under arrest, he attempted to discard a small baggie which contained a white substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine. A further search of the vehicle revealed additional drug paraphernalia, a small amount of marijuana and Promethazine Codeine cough syrup.
Additionally, Odean’s vehicle matched the description of a vehicle suspected in a September 11th burglary from 1010 Locust Street in Sutherland. Lincoln County Deputies responded to the location of the traffic stop and found electronic devices in the vehicle that were consistent with items taken during the Sutherland burglary.
Odean was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center, where Sheriff’s investigators questioned him about the burglary. Eventually, Odean admitted to committing the crime.
Odean has been charged with burglary, possession of controlled substances (meth and codeine), possession of marijuana-less than one ounce and driving under suspension.
