MOULTRIE, Ga. — Law enforcement agencies made several drug-possession arrests in recent days, mostly while engaged in normal patrol duties, including one man police noticed staggering on a city street.

At 2:52 p.m. Saturday, an officer noticed a 47-year-old man in jeans, T-shirt and black hat walking south on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

The man, later identified as Frank Arthur Pinion Jr., was staggering and at one point staggered into the middle of the street, Moultrie police said. When the officer stopped to check whether Pinion had a health issue he smelled the odor of alcohol on his breath.

While speaking to the officer, Pinion pulled a 40-ounce plastic bottle of Old English 800 malt liquor from his pocket, police said. Asked whether he had “anything on him he should not have,” Pinion responded that he had some crack cocaine in his right pocket.

When the officer checked, he found suspected crack cocaine in the pocket and also found on him a Newport cigarette pack containing a small metal smoking pipe.

Pinion, 424 Sixth Ave. S.E., was charged with illegal possession of a controlled substance.

On Sunday a Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office deputy arrested a Moultrie man after making a traffic stop at about 9:31 p.m. in the 200 block of Black Acres Road.

Henry Andrew Newsome, the driver of the 1991 GMC Sierra, was stopped after he crossed out of his lane of travel twice over a distance of about 200 feet, police said.

During the traffic stop suspected crystal meth was found in the car and Newsome, 44, 31 Carolyn St., was charged with possession of methamphetamine and probation violation.

At 1:20 p.m. Monday, deputies assisting Georgia Division of Family and Children Services at the 1605 Sunrise Ave., residence of David Keith Brown found suspected meth, police said.

Brown, 24, was charged with possession of methamphetamine.

At 6:28 p.m. Monday a Moultrie officer involved in a “Click It Or Ticket” concentrated patrol in the 1300 block of Southy Main Street stopped a GMC Sierra whose juvenile driver was not wearing a seat belt.

During the course of the traffic stop, police said, police discovered that a juvenile passenger had suspected marijuana and he was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
