According to the report, the officer was able to retrieve the rest of the alleged drugs from the back seat of the patrol car. The amount of suspected marijuana was about 25 grams, the report stated.

Heard was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, obstruction, tampering with evidence and possession of a drug-related object.

The 25-year-old man also had several felony warrants through the LaGrange Police Department and a probation violation through Troup County Sheriff’s Office. Those charges included possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm by convicted felon, possession of a firearm during commission of a crime and street gang participation, according to the police report.

A LaGrange officer was also injured during Heard’s arrest on Marshall Street, according to a separate report.
