PUTNAM COUNTY, Ind. (WTHI) - Indiana State Police are thanking a now 'slow-poke' law for helping them make a drug bust.

Troopers noticed a car on I-70 in Putnam County driving 57 in a 70...in the left-hand lane.

It happened near the 40-mile marker.

A state trooper pulled over the driver for going too slow.

When police searched the vehicle they found 11 pounds of drugs with a street value of $33,000.

They arrested Daniel Wade from Colorado and Veronica McLam from South Carolina.

Police say they found pills and meth.

The two are in the Putnam County Jail.
