While on general patrol, a CPD Officer came upon a vehicle sitting at the stop sign at the intersection of Miller Avenue and Jamestown Street. The Officer was behind the vehicle for approximately 4 minutes with the operator not proceeding to turn, despite no oncoming traffic.
Once the Officer initiated his lights to stop and do a welfare check, the operator suddenly pulled onto Jamestown Street before pulling off the roadway. After contact was made with the driver, the male subject was asked to step out of the vehicle to which he complied and initially gave consent to search the auto. The subject however kept putting his hands in his pockets despite verbal commands to stop. It was at this time the driver was handcuffed for safety and a small bag of suspected methamphetamine was found in the parties’ pants pocket.
After this was found, the male subject rescinded his consent to search the vehicle. K9 Unit Nitro from The Adair County Sheriff’s Office was utilized and alerted on the car where another small bag of suspected methamphetamine was located on the driver’s side.
John Thomas Giles, 50, of Columbia, KY was taken into custody and charged with resisting arresting, disorderly conduct 2nd degree, and possession of a controlled substance methamphetamine (a class D felony).
CPD Officer Trevor Foster was the arresting Officer. He was assisted on scene by Officer Jamie Cole and Deputy Josh Durbin.
