A short time later, officers found the pickup truck on Middle Holland Road where they initiated a traffic stop and spoke to Machen and passenger, Austin Carter, police said.
Officers noticed a black sports bike style motorcycle in the back of the pickup truck that had been reported stolen in November 2020, police said.
Authorities also found controlled substances on the dash, police said.
Machen is being charged with receiving stolen property, intention to possess a controlled substance, driving with suspended vehicle registration, and other related charges.
