Public Information Officer Sgt. Darrell McMann said Mark Boutwell, 21, of Little River, was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana II and possession of drug paraphernalia.
McMann said in a release that an APD officer observed a vehicle driving erratically on East Horner Street at approximately 11:25 p.m. on Feb. 13.
“The officer stopped the vehicle and contacted the driver, Mark Boutwell, 21, of Little River,” McMann said. “During the interaction between Boutwell and the officer, Boutwell handed the officer a bag (allegedly) containing a glass pipe and approximately 1.2 grams of a crystal-like substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine. Upon searching the vehicle, the officer discovered a plastic baggie containing .8 grams of a green leafy substance that field tested positive for marijuana.”
McMann said Boutwell was then transported to the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton.
