• Felony possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug-related objects: A Brantley County man was charged with drug-related offenses Sunday, May 11 after being stopped while riding a bicycle.
Arrested was Raymond Levasseur, 26, of a Birch Road address in Nahunta. He was charged with felony possession of methamp hetamine and possession of drug-related objects.
Levasseur remained in the Ware County Jail after having bond denied by a magistrate May 12.
About 1:47 a.m., WCSO Det. Kyle Strickland saw a male on a bike on Cherokee Street near its intersection with Satilla Parkway wearing dark clothing with no lights on the bike. Strickland engaged the male, who said he was trying to get to ABC Avenue, but was lost.
Strickland asked the man if he was subject of any outstanding warrants and the man replied he didn’t know because he hadn’t called his probation officer since February. The detective asked the man if he could search his person, and he agreed saying he did have “a little something” in his backpack.
Strickland asked what it was and the man replied “meth.” During the search the detective found a yellow box with a clear plastic bag containing a crystallike substance as well as two syringes.
The substance field tested positive for methamphetamine. The man was transported to jail without incident and the substance sent to the crime lab for more testing.
Strickland served Levasseur with a warrant for possession of methamphetamine and the drugrelated objects at the jail.
