Police reportedly confiscated a quantity of crack cocaine Friday night during a traffic stop at Dayhoit.

Harlan County sheriff's deputy David Williams said he observed a vehicle traveling along U.S. 119 being driven poorly and initiated a traffic stop at Dayhoit.

Williams said when he approached the vehicle, he could smell an odor of marijuana coming from inside.

Williams said Kentucky State Police trooper Jared Boggs and Loyall City Police Chief Owen Noe were nearby and assisted in the search of the vehicle. Deputy Josh Howard and K-9 unit Dasty also responded.

Williams said a small bag of marijuana was found in passenger Damiano Delaney's shoe. Williams said a quantity of crack cocaine was found between the seats of the 1994 Lincoln.

During the search of the vehicle, Williams said Dasty became ill. He said they were not sure what the service animal had gotten into, but the animal has since recovered.

Williams said other officers assisted at the stop, including sheriff Marvin Lipfird.

Delaney, 25, of Harlan, and the driver, Jessica Helton, 19, of Loyall, were both charged with second-degree assault on a service animal, first-degree trafficking a controlled substance and possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in a motor vehicle. Delaney was additionally charged with possession of marijuana and public intoxication.

Helton was also charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence, failure to produce insurance card, no proof of insurance and no/expired Kentucky registration receipt.
