A bag of suspected cocaine allegedly slipped out of one of the pockets of two Douglas males who were chatting with a Coffee County Drug Unit (CCDU) detective when they were recently placed under arrest.
A 2007 Toyota Camry’s trunk compartment was witnessed to be loaded with a riding lawnmower by two white guys on January 3, at approximately 2:58 p.m., according to a copy of a preliminary CCDU report.
A plastic bag purportedly carrying suspected methamphetamine dropped out of the pocket of one of the guys, 54-year-old Julian Keith Roberson, while the investigator was conversing with him.
According to the report, Roberson informed the detective that the suspected meth belonged to Jeremy Noyes, 44, who he was with, and not to him.
The detective stated that the material was subjected to a field test, and the results showed that 0.4 grams of methamphetamine were present.
Consequently, one count of possession of methamphetamine was brought against both men upon their arrest.
As per the most recent Coffee County Jail roster, Roberson has been freed from custody, while Noyes is still being held.
