During the course of the traffic stop, Deputy Collard discovered that Yoes was in possession of not just methamphetamine, but also ingredients and tools to cook methamphetamine. Officials say Yoes was promptly arrested for possession of a controlled substance.  While out on bond for the possession charge, Yoes was also arrested for possession of a firearm by a felon after he was discovered living in a home with numerous firearms. <\/p>\n<p>Yoes pleaded guilty in December and elected to have punishment assessed by the court.
