Affidavit: Man caught with crack, meth and nunchucks during Lincoln traffic stop

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A man was arrested early Wednesday morning after a traffic stop in Lincoln led to the seizure of meth, court documents say.

Christopher Swayne, 50, was charged with possession of meth with intent to deliver.

At around 2:20 a.m., officers spotted a vehicle with no front license plate near 19th and Knox streets, according to an arrest affidavit.

Shortly after, the vehicle was pulled over, and the officers spoke with the driver and Swayne, the front seat passenger.

Officers saw two backpacks on the passenger floorboard, which Swayne claimed to own, the affidavit says.

After a K9 search, officers determined there was probable cause to search the vehicle.

Inside the backpacks, officers discovered a set of nunchucks, digital scales, THC vape cartridges and a bong with suspected meth residue, according to the affidavit.

One of the digital scales also had suspected meth residue, the affidavit alleges.

Officers searched Swayne and found 16.3 grams of meth in a plastic bag and 1 gram of crack cocaine, the affidavit says.

Swayne and the driver were then taken to the Lancaster County Jail.

A Lancaster County judge has set Swayne’s bond at $100,000, meaning he must pay $10,000 to be released from jail.
