Public Information Officer Sgt. Darrell McMann said in a release that Joseph Neales, 49, was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

“During the officers interaction with Neales, the officer noted suspicious behavior and was given consent to search the vehicle,” McMann said. “During the search the officer discovered a small amount of methamphetamine and ecstasy as well as items used to ingest narcotics.”
Neales was transported to the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton.
