Morgan Teresa DavisA Fort Payne, Ala., woman is behind bars on a $70,000 bond stemming from the discovery of marijuana, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in her vehicle.
The discovery came after Morgan Teresa Davis, 44, of 68 Sola Circle, was stopped by Officer Matthew Jones at 1:50 a.m. CDT Tuesday for a vehicle equipment violation, Fort Payne Police Chief Randy Bynum said in a news release.
Davis gave consent for Jones to search her car and the officer found marijuana, meth, smoking pipes, a marijuana grinder, a torch lighter and clear plastic “baggies,” Bynum said.
Davis was charged with intent to distribute methamphetamine, unlawful possession of marijuana second-degree, and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
Recognizing his “vigilant police work,” Bynum said that Jones’ alertness led the seizure of what he described as a “sizeable amount” of methamphetamine.
