Polk County Police found several bags of methamphetamine that totaled up to more than four grams after a pair tried to drop drugs out of their car while being stopped by an officer late Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, according to reports.
Lyric Locklear, 38, of a Rockmart address and Mitchell Moore, 39, of an Aragon address, were both arrested just after midnight on Wednesday morning following a traffic stop that began around 11 p.m. on Tuesday, February 28 on Prospect Road at an abandoned home.
An officer that spotted the pair driving northbound saw them “braking erratically while turning her left signal on and off, and was weaving inside her (Locklear’s) lane.”
Police stopped the pair after they turned into an abandoned house on Prospect, and watched as Moore in the passenger seat tried to ditch “an item of paper material” out of the window.
Officers recovered that item – which indeed had meth within the paper tossed out the window – and first searched Moore, finding a glass pipe.
Police also found a bag of meth on the hood of the car. Moore was immediately taken into custody.
Locklear was frisked, placed in the back of a squad car, and then officers got deeper into the search of the car.
A second bag of meth was found behind the car on the driver’s side, plus additional bags that were found inside the car. All totaled together, the final weight of the drugs found were 4.6 grams.
Both were taken onward to the Polk County Jail and booked without further incident.
Police charged the pair with felonies for two counts of possession of methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine with intent, two counts of tampering with evidence and possession of tools for commission of a crime, with an additional misdemeanor charge of abandonment of dangerous drugs.
Moore faced one additional count of abandonment of dangerous drugs as well. All told, he had a $31,000 bond set and was released from the Polk County Jail.
Locklear remained in custody on a $26,000 bond as of this posting.
