According to reports, on November 1, the authorities went to a residence in Brownstown that they had been investigating. When they arrived, they reportedly smelled marijuana. The owner was not home, and the police got a warrant so they could search the premises. Several Jackson County sheriff’s deputies conducted the search, and they allegedly found nearly 20 grams of methamphetamine, in addition to several pieces of paraphernalia. They called the man who lived there, and he reportedly told them he would come home and meet them. When he did not show up, the authorities assumed it was intentional.
Law enforcement kept an eye out for the suspect. On the morning of November 12, the man’s vehicle was parked at his workplace and a deputy spotted it. Using the registration, they were able to confirm it belonged to the man they were searching for. Two deputies went inside and detained him.
Afterward, the man was taken into custody and booked into the Jackson County Detention Center. He is facing multiple preliminary charges including one felony count of dealing a controlled substance – methamphetamine, one felony count of maintaining a common nuisance – legend drugs, two misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, and one misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance – methamphetamine. According to facility records, he is still incarcerated in lieu of a $5,005 bond.
