A Stone County man is facing charges of forgery and possession of drug paraphernalia with the purpose to use following a residence disturbance call that occured in August.
According to the probable cause affidavit, 41-year-old Darrel M. Jenkins of Drasco, appeared to be under the influence of methamphetamines, when officers were called to a disturbance at a residence on Mountain View Road and Dump Mountain Road in Drasco. Upon arrival, another man told law enforcement that Jenkins almost ran over his kids on Ben Road. Jenkins stated he saw the kids, but denied almost hittin them. Authorities asked him if he had anything on him and asked for consent to search his person and vehicle. Jenkins produced a syringe and stated it was for his insulin. Authorities asked permission to field test and he consented.
The field test was conducted and resulted positive for crystal meth and Jenkins was placed under arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia. During the booking process, officers must confirm the count of an offender’s money, and discovered three twenty dollar bills that appeared to be counterfeit in his wallet. Two of the bills had the same serial number on them.
Jenkins was released the following day due to severe medical issues, but was informed that a warrant would be issued at a later date.
The new warrant was issued for his arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia with the purpose to use crystal meth and forgery in the first degree. His bond is set at $10,000
