On January 14, 2020 a Deputy with the Uniform Patrol Division observed a vehicle failing to yield when entering the roadway of Highway 71 S from the service road connecting several nearby businesses. The Deputy conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle for the violation. During the course of the traffic stop the driver, identified as Alfred King, was extremely nervous and failed to make eye contact with the Deputy. After being issued a verbal warning for the violation, the Deputy then engaged into a consensual encounter with King.
During the consensual encounter, King was asked for consent to search his vehicle to which he agreed. While searching the vehicle, the Deputy located a small zippered bag within the driver’s door compartment which contained two small ziplock style baggies and a small cut plastic straw piece. The smaller plastic baggies contained a white powdery substance. When asked about the substance and what it was King stated he was unsure; however, made the utterance he had purchased it as “powder” and never even tried the substance because it appeared to “mushy”.
The substance was field tested which returned a presumptive positive result for the presence of cocaine. The powdery substance was later weighed and had a true weight of 0.36 grams. King was placed under arrest and transported to the Jackson County Correctional Facility to await first appearance on his charges.
