Afton man arrested for drugs

An Afton man was taken to Loudon County Jail on multiple counts of drug possession after police officers spotted a suspicious car parked on an Interstate 75 exit ramp with its emergency lights flashing.

"I woke the driver and I noticed that he was sweating and was lethargic," Ketner wrote in the report.

While speaking with Afton, Ketner saw a small, green baggy in the car, "which is consistent with drug use," and Ketner then asked the man to get out of the vehicle, according to the report.

"Mr. Foster was unaware of where he was and where he was coming from," Ketner wrote. "Mr. Foster stated that he was sleepy and pulled over to get some rest."

During a search of Foster and his vehicle, police found $3,960 in cash. Foster told police he was unemployed, but that he gets a disability check and performs home repairs, according to the report.

After other officers arrived, a K-9 unit gave a positive signal on the vehicle, and police located numerous drugs, including alprozolam, hydrocodone, diazepam, methamphetamine and cocaine in the Dakota, Ketner wrote. Police also located a meth pipe, a magnetic "otter box" used to transport drugs and a .40-caliber handgun.

"Mr. Foster stated that he intended to buy drugs, but got upset and left from an unknown location," according to Ketner.

Foster was charged with two counts of manufacture/sell/delivery/resale of a Schedule II substance, manufacture/sell/delivery/resale of a Schedule IV substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm during a dangerous felony and two counts of simple possession/casual exchange and held on $104,000 bond.
