(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Two southeastern Indiana men are facing multiple drug related charges following a traffic stop on Fourth of July weekend. 

Scott Urban, 33, of Batesville, and Zachery Rogers, 28, of Aurora, were taken into custody on July 3 following a late night traffic stop on Arch Street in Lawrenceburg. 

Lawrenceburg Police initiated the traffic stop due to a failure to signal. 

During the traffic stop, officers say they immediately observed Rogers unconscious in the passenger seat. According to a probable cause affidavit, Rogers appeared to have suffered an overdose. He was revived with a dose of Narcan.

During a probable cause search of the vehicle, officers allegedly located methamphetamine, multiple cell phones, glass pipes, two hypodermic syringes and other drug paraphernalia. 

Officers say Urban was also in possession of $400 in counterfeit currency.
