Men arrested with drug related charges

Two men were arrested for numerous drug charges after a traffic stop on Vernon Road Friday around 3 a.m.

Keyon Thompson, 25, and Michael Cameron, 41, were arrested and charged with violating Georgia’s Controlled Substance Act for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of MDMA with intent to distribute, possession of a Scheduled II substance with intent to distribute and possession of a drug related object.

According to the LaGrange police report, officers pulled them over for a traffic stop on their car and noticed the smell of marijuana. After talking to both men and discovering they were on probation, officers asked and were given consent to search their vehicle. Police found a plastic container that contained three bags of marijuana, a white piece of paper that contained three oxycodone pills and a clear plastic bag that contained five suspected MDMA pills.

Police also found a clear “crack pipe” that contained some burnt substance residue and a brillo pad at the end of it, which is commonly used to smoke illegal narcotics.

The two men were arrested and police found $914 in Thompson’s pocket.

The currency was broken down into $1, $5, $10, $20 and $50 bills, which is consistent with street level narcotic sales.
