A forty-one-year-old man was arrested near a dumpster at a local thrift store shortly after 5 AM last Saturday morning.  A Chattooga County sheriff’s deputy was on patrol when he noticed the man loitering near the dumpster.  The man told the deputy that he was calling his dog and offered no other explanation for why he was outside the thrift store at that time.  The man had a large knife in his possession.  The deputy asked the man to lay the knife on the hood of the patrol car and patted the man down for anymore weapons.  During the pat-down, the deputy described what is commonly known as a “pot-grinder” in the mans pockets, as well as a prescription pill.  The subject told the deputy that he had “found” the pill on the ground and that he shouldn’t have picked it up.  The deputy arrested Barry J. Warick on drug possession charges and booked him into the Chattooga County Jail.  Chattooga Animal Control was called to pick up the man’s dogs.
