A traffic stop in Trion last week resulted in the arrest of a man on multiple drug-related charges after deputies say he attempted to discard narcotics during a pursuit.

According to the report, Deputy Riley Reeves observed a vehicle traveling on Central Avenue without functioning taillights in the early morning hours of March 26. When the deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop, the driver failed to immediately pull over and made abrupt movements, at one point turning into the opposite lane before continuing south toward Highway 27.

During the pursuit, the deputy reported seeing an object thrown from the driver’s side window. After the vehicle eventually stopped, the driver—identified as 47-year-old Christopher Jeff Edwards—was detained. Authorities later recovered suspected narcotics from the area where the object was discarded.

Investigators say the recovered items included substances believed to be methamphetamine and fentanyl, along with related paraphernalia. Edwards was taken into custody and transported to jail without further incident. He faces multiple charges, including trafficking of controlled substances, possession of methamphetamine, possession of Schedule II drugs, and abandonment of dangerous drugs.
