Two men were arrested recently after a prescription narcotic was found in their possession during a traffic stop.
Christopher Shannon Hanley, 31, 3274 Jot-Em-Down Road, Ila, and Christopher Brannon Childs, 25, 1816 Hunt Cliff Way, Elberton, were each charged with possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance.
According to the incident report, deputy Joshua Smith pulled over a gray Chrysler Sebring after noticing the vehicle had only one working headlight. After speaking with the driver, he noticed that two passengers in the back were moving around a lot and acting very nervous. He asked for their identification and was given permission by the driver to search the vehicle. During the search, deputy Smith found a Marlboro Light cigarette box with a cellophane wrapper containing 34 oxycodone pills (a narcotic) in the center of the back seat where the two men were seated.
Both passengers denied that the pills were theirs and both were arrested.
