Had an outstanding warrant in reference to a bond revocation

An Atmore man was arrested April 6 on a warrant and drug charges, according to officials.

Atmore Police Department Public Information Officer Sgt. Darrell McMann said in a release that Charles Jones, 35, of Atmore, was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana I, possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of a pistol by a convicted felon.

McMann said the arrest occurred after an APD officer observed a four-wheeler being driven on the roadway at approximately 1:40 p.m. on April 6.

McMann said the officer stopped the four-wheeler and contacted the driver, Jones.

“While speaking with Jones, the officers discovered that Jones had an outstanding arrest warrant with the Escambia County (Ala.) Sheriffs Office in reference to a bond revocation,” McMann said. “Upon placing Jones under arrest, the officer discovered 23 grams of a green leafy substance that field tested positive for marijuana, a digital scale and a handgun.”

Jones was then transported to the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton.
