Drug Arrests, Jondahl Charged

During a traffic stop along Highway 2 on April 6, sheriff’s deputies discovered a concealed weapon and drugs on Aaron Todd Morris of Spokane, Wash. While initially pulled over for speeding, authorities discovered Morris was also driving without a valid license, current insurance and was in possession of drugs and a concealed weapon.

The Tri-County Drug Task Force was contacted by the Valley County Sheriff’s office to assist in the investigation. Morris’s vehicle was also seized while authorities obtained and eventually executed a search warrant. The matter resulted in what is still an ongoing investigation that is being carried out by the two agencies.

Morris, age 34, is currently being held at the Valley County Jail on a $10,000 bond and faces charges of carrying a concealed weapon, possession of dangerous drugs (suspected methamphetamine), driving while privilege to do so is suspended or revoked and speeding 1-10 miles per hour over the limit.

Niko Jondahl (20) has been arrested and charged with Sexual Intercourse Without Consent. Jondahl is currently incarcerated in the Valley County Detention Center and felony charges are pending.
