Posts on social media about a $10 cover charge and all-you-could-drink alcohol at an East Brewton hair salon sent police officers and agents with the Alabama Alcohol Beverage Control Board to the location where one patron was witnessed rolling a joint of suspected marijuana outside the building.
East Brewton Police Chief Kenny Brazille said police learned of the illegal party by watching social media, noting it is illegal to sell alcohol without a license.
When officers arrived at the business on Forest Avenue Aug. 25 they observed a patron at the party standing outside rolling what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette.
The man was later identified as Charles Edward Smith, Jr., 37, 816 Lovelace Lane, Brewton. Smith was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance (spice) and unlawful possession of marijuana II.
Another suspect, Spario Banks, 32, 204 Mason St., Brewton, was also arrested and charged with selling alcohol without a license.
