According to the arrest citation, Weideman removed a satchel from his chest to retrieve a knife after telling officers he was armed. When the bag opened, police say they discovered three separate baggies of meth.
Weideman is charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance for more than two grams of meth, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was lodged in the Hopkins County Jail.
