A Lincoln man was arrested after allegedly kicking two ounces of meth under the seat of a Lincoln police cruiser on Thursday.
A court document says an LPD officer and Lancaster County Sheriff's deputy pulled over a car driven by Michael Vanness, 33, for failing to use a turn signal just after noon that day.

When Vanness stopped in a parking lot at 2900 N.W. 12th St., authorities noticed a small amount of loose marijuana in the car and began searching it. They found about .9 grams of meth tucked between the driver's seat and the center console, the document says.Â
Vanness and his 38-year-old passenger were arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance.
The next day, the LPD officer said he found 57.5 grams of meth under the seat of his cruiser. He reviewed surveillance video and saw Vanness take the meth out of his pants and kick it under the seat, the document says.Â
