Meth case stemming from Lincoln traffic stop takes step forward

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A methamphetamine case that started with a north Lincoln traffic stop moved forward on Tuesday.

Dakota Parrott, 32, of Nebraska City waived his preliminary hearing in Lancaster County Court.

Judge Timothy Phillips then bound the case over to district court.

On March 24, Parrott was pulled over near 27th and Fairfield streets.

He appeared nervous, sweating and “messing with his hands constantly,” court documents say.

But he gave permission to search his SUV, according to the Nebraska State Patrol.

Troopers said they found a small bag of marijuana in the center console and marijuana clippings on the floor.

Then they looked in the back and saw a satchel. Inside, there was a bag holding more than 2 pounds of meth, an arrest affidavit says.

Parrott had been released on parole in July.

He will be arraigned in Lancaster County District Court on May 21.
