On the evening of October 19th, Deputy Bill Russell was on patrol in the area of Farrs Bridge Road in Easley when he observed a vehicle with no license plate. Upon attempting a traffic stop, Deputy Russell observed the vehicle accelerate and pass several suitable locations to stop before deciding to do so. A search of the immediate roadway produced a bag of methamphetamine, weighing 13 grams, that had been thrown from the vehicle. In addition, an AR-15 magazine with am******on was located inside the vehicle. The driver was prohibited from possessing fi****ms and am******on.
Deputy Russell placed the driver under arrest for Trafficking Methamphetamine 3rd or sub offense, Possession of Am******on by a Person Convicted of Certain Crimes (prohibited), and Possession of Am******on by a Person Convicted of PWID. Thank you Deputy Russell for removing dangerous drugs and am******on from our streets!
