INDIANAPOLIS — A traffic stop ended up leading investigators to a restaurant on Indy’s east side where police uncovered cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, fentanyl and enough firepower for a shootout.

William Collins, 45, was arrested by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department on Monday for his role in the alleged drug trafficking. Collins also isn’t permitted to own a firearm due to being a convicted felon.

Police said Collins was arrested during a traffic stop after detectives witnessed a “hand-to-hand drug transaction” in a parking lot in the 3200 block of N. Emerson. During the traffic stop, police found a handgun in Collins’ possession.

The investigation eventually led police to 1313 Eatery, a chicken wing shop located at 5299 E. 38th Street. Detectives searched the business and seized approximately 600 grams of cocaine, five pounds of meth, one pound of marijuana and 70 grams of fentanyl pills.

Also found in the restaurant were three firearms, two of which were reported stolen, and nearly 900 rounds of live ammunition.
