A 31-year-old man was arrested last Wednesday, following a traffic stop that revealed multiple drug-related offenses, including DUI and possession of marijuana. Trevor Alexander Cole Roady, a resident of Henager, Alabama, was pulled over by a Chattooga County Sheriff’s Deputy after the deputy observed his black SUV drifting across double yellow lines on Highway 27 near Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Road.

The deputy initiated the stop around 11:47 PM. Upon approaching the vehicle, Officer Wilks detected the strong odor of burnt marijuana. Despite initial claims from Roady that he had not consumed any marijuana, he later admitted to smoking shortly before the trip from North Carolina. A subsequent search of the vehicle yielded a variety of drug-related items, including a nearly burnt marijuana blunt, two THC vape pens, and a mason jar containing approximately half an ounce of marijuana. In total, the deputy collected 1.4 ounces of suspected marijuana from the vehicle. Additionally, a loaded Smith & Wesson MP pistol was found in the driver’s side door.

The deputy Officer noted Roady’s bloodshot eyes and signs of impairment during voluntary field sobriety tests, where multiple indicators of drugged driving were observed. Roady reportedly acknowledged that he was still under the influence of marijuana at the time of the stop. Following the arrest, Roady was read Georgia’s implied consent notice and agreed to undergo a state-administered urine test for substances. The vehicle was released to a passenger who was deemed fit to drive.

Roady received several charges, including DUI-drugs (misdemeanor), failure to maintain lane, possession of marijuana (felony), possession of drug-related objects, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
