A Terre Haute man was arrested on multiple charges following a traffic stop on S. Third Street Thursday night.

Camron J. Banghart, 27, was booked into the Vigo County Jail and charged with: 

• Possession of methamphetamine, felony, 6
• False informing, Class B misdemeanor
• Possession of methamphetamine (Vigo County warrant), felony 6
• Resisting law enforcement (Vigo County warrant), Class A misdemeanor

Indiana State Police Trooper Brad Fyfe was patrolling the area near Poplar Street, when he stopped the passenger vehicle for an equipment violation by a gas station around 10:30 p.m.  After reportedly  misleading officers on his identity, an identification card was found in the suspect's back pocket.

ISP Sgt. Matt Ames said suspicious activity was detected. A K-9 check around the vehicle indicated an alert.

Banghart was found to be in in possession of methamphetamine during a subsequent search of the vehicle, Ames said, noting that ​​further investigation revealed the suspect had two active warrants for his arrest out of Vigo County.
