Public Information Officer Sgt. Darrell McMann in a release that Brandon King, 32, of Columbia, S.C., was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

McMann said on the day of the arrest at approximately 3:05 p.m., APD officers responded to Baker’s Service Station in Canoe to assist the Flomaton Police Department with a traffic accident investigation.

“The Flomaton police officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that had left the scene of a traffic accident,” McMann said. “During the investigation, one of the Atmore police officers observed drug paraphernalia in plain view in the vehicle. The officer conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle and discovered a white powder that field tested positive for cocaine and items used to ingest narcotics.”

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