Local Man Arrested On Drug Charge By Smithville Police

Smithville Police arrested a local man around 1:54 a.m. Friday morning on a drug charge.
Chief Thomas Stufano says James Robert Davis II of 1638 New Home Road was arrested for driving on a suspended license while impaired and a narcotics violation.
Stufano, in a prepared news release, states that “Upon responding to the area of the Hardee’s parking lot, officers found Davis asleep at the wheel of his 2001 Lexus. After the initial investigation the city’s new Drug K-9 was brought to the scene and found that Davis was also in possession of marijuana and a large amount of cash that was tainted with drug residue.
Davis was arrested and booked into the DeKalb County Jail with a bond of $2,000. His car was towed and seized under the state’s forfeiture act.
