On Monday, October 20th, a Chattooga County officer was dispatched to Mountain View Road in reference to a suspicious person.

A man later identified as Brandon Milam was standing next to a house on the road, and began running away when he saw the officer's patrol vehicle.

The officer eventually found Mr. Milam hiding in bushes along Adams Road. When asked why he ran, Mr. Milam said that he was scared and did not have anywhere to go. The officer detected a strong odor of alcohol, so he asked Mr. Milam how much he had to drink that night. Mr. Milam admitted to drinking, but said he had only had one beer. Mr. Milam was tested by breath for alcohol and blew .112. 

While patting Mr. Milam down, the officer found a small plastic wrapper containing a green leafy substance suspected to be marijuana. Mr. Milam told the officer that it was given to him by a friend.

Mr. Milam was arrested for the offenses of Pedestrian under the influence of alcohol and Possession of marijuana and taken to the Chattooga County Jail.
