Two East Brewton men who were passengers in a vehicle pulled over for making an improper turn were arrested after police officers found methamphetamine inside the vehicle.
Jamie Jackson, 34, 105 Duncan St., and Chase Kennedy, 21, 747 Williamson St., were both charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to police reports, Sgt. Paige Howell was on patrol when he noticed a vehicle make an improper turn onto Forrest Avenue. He made contact with the driver, identified as Daniel Arnold of East Brewton, and reported the rear passenger, later identified as Jackson, was moving around and couldn't be still.
Sgt. Howell then asked Arnold if there was anything illegal in the vehicle and Arnold told him there shouldn't be.
Howell went back to his vehicle to write Arnold a citation for a revoked license and the Escambia County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit arrived on the scene.
The report noted the dog alerted on rear passenger side where Jackson was sitting. The occupants were removed from the vehicle and where Jackson was sitting in, officers found a glass pipe that contained meth residue hidden under the car seat. A second pipe containing meth residue was found near the front passenger seat where Kennedy had been sitting.
Jackson and Kennedy were transported to the Escambia County Detention Center.
