Indiana police found marijuana and other unidentified controlled substances on rocker Bret Michaels’ tour buses, The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel reported Friday.
Two tour buses, one of which carried the rock star, were pulled over in DeKalb County, northeast Indiana, before midnight local time Wednesday.
Police stopped the caravan because a trailer connected to one of the buses did not have a license plate light.
