Douglas County authorities have made an arrest on two extraditable warrants, one of which was out of Ozark County for abuse or neglect of a child.

Douglas County Sheriff Chris Degase says in a social posting 35-year-old Donnie Brown of Ava was arrested on the evening of Jan. 21 after a traffic stop was initiated at the junction of Missouri highways 76 and 95.

Sheriff Degase says the Ozark County felony warrant has a $10,000 cash only bond. The second bond was out of Christian County for two charges of non-support, both misdemeanors.

A consented search of the vehicle yielded a pink baggie containing a white powdery substance field testing positive for methamphetamine, a clear baggie containing an unknown brown substance and a spray can with residue on the bottom testing positive for methamphetamine, as well.
