A Calhoun man, Charles Courtland Gaines, 48, was arrested in Fort Oglethorpe this week after police found close to two pounds of meth during a traffic stop. He was charged with trafficking methamphetamines, possessing tools for the commission of a crime, and failing to comply with headlight requirements.
Reports said that he was pulled over after police spotted him driving with a bad headlight. The officer said that during the stop he noticed two syringes in Gaines` pocket. After given consent to search the car the officer discovered two small clear plastic bags that contained a clear crystal substance believed to be methamphetamine.
A green box was also found under the driver`s seat that contained a suspected crystallized substance. A glass pipe was also found in the passenger-side seat pouch, which had a white residue on it.
In total close to 60 grams of methamphetamine was located in the vehicle.
Hoyt Cole Roberson, 26 of Rome, was arrested over the weekend after police said he pulled a woman from and stole her car. According to reports, Roberson forced the woman from her truck on Dean and East 19th streets. The victim reported that when she picked her phone to call for help he grabbed and broke it.
Authorities added that Roberson was under the influence at the time and later ran the truck into a sign.
Roberson was later arrested and charged with theft by taking, criminal trespass, DUI, obstructing or hindering someone making an emergency telephone call, driving while his license was suspended or revoked and failure to maintain lane.
