When Bulthuis was taken into custody, officers reported finding a bag of marijuana, a small amount of methamphetamine and a pipe in his clothing.

Bulthuis is facing preliminary charges of Driving while Suspended with a Prior Conviction, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
