Hull man arrested on drug charges
A Hull man was arrested last week on drug charges after the sheriff’s office received an anonymous call stating that drugs were being sold out of a house located at 73 Aiken Road.
Joe Alvin Brown Jr., 32, 73 Aiken Road, was arrested on one count each of possession, manufacture, distribution, etc., Violation of Georgia’s Controlled Substances Act (VGCSA) methamphetamine; possession, manufacture, distribution, etc. VGCSA Schedule II narcotics/oxycodone; possession manufacture, distribution, etc., VGCSA Schedule III narcotics/hydrocodone; possession, manufacture distribution, etc. VGCSA marijuana, possession of tools for the commission of a crime and drugs to be kept in original container.
According to the incident report, acting on the tip, Deputy Scott Pulliam went to the home where he met with Brown and a female and asked if he could search the home. They gave permission and the deputy noted that the first thing he saw in Brown’s bedroom was a brown pill bottle with no label lying on the floor that contained a white crystal substance that appeared to be methamphetamine, as well as two pills (identified as oxycodone and hydrocodone through use of the “drug bible.”) At this point, Deputy Pulliam placed Brown under arrest and asked him if there was anything else in the room, to which Brown replied that “there might be a little marijuana.”
Deputy Pulliam located marijuana, a digital scale, two glass pipes and other suspected drug paraphernalia. $160 in cash was also found.

cert but alot of the ones who were let go did! And I disagree
Madison County is further from better now than it ever was
before thanks to loosing those officers who actually did
have either a degree, cert or twice the experience the new
ones do. Yeah you have to give the new ones time to learn
but that time is valuable and we wouldn't be wasting it
if we still had our old deputies!
As for using the Physicians Desk Reference (drug bible) to positively identify the drugs, again, excellent police work to ensure that the drugs actually were illegal and by following proper procedure the deputy has ensured that the suspect should have been arrested and ensured an easy to prosecute airtight case for the DA.
Police need to follow the law. Sounds like things are improving at the Sheriff's dept.
If you had been so vocal six months ago, you may have been able to help your candidate win re-election. Perhaps, now, you understand the power of the vote and the need for concerned citizens such as yourself to become involved in the process.
So, the choice is yours. You can keep on crying over a lost election or you can try to do something about it. Or, option three, you can get on board and help our duly elected official excel at the job that he was voted to do. From your rantings, I predict you will pick option one - continue to crybaby.
What's it going to be, Charlie?
As you offered,HINT HERE,every ones stats can be checked. Unless you are Tim Nix writing this stuff you are sadly misinformed. THAT decision may have saved a few tax dollars. Might want to check the stats.
A Registered Pharmacist could identify most pills by sight, and I imagine a lot of pill-heads, (no shortage of them here in Madison County), can too, but do you really expect every law enforcement officer to be able to identify every prescription medication that comes out of a bottle with no label?
As far as the consent given by the offenders to search the residence, it happens all the time. Most druggies are either extremely paranoid, or they think they're ten feet tall and bulletproof, and way too clever to ever get caught. It sounds like Brown fell into the latter category.
Once again, some people have taken a good thing (the arrest of a drug dealer), and managed to turn it into an attack on the Sheriff's Office, just because the election didn't turn out the way they wanted. Tiresome, tiresome, tiresome!!!
