Marijuana found

A Florida man and North Carolina woman are facing drug charges after a call Feb. 5 of reckless driving on Interstate 75.

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Matt Fagiana spotted the vehicle at mile marker 76 on I-75. Witness reports noted the vehicle had driven off the roadway several times.

The driver, later identified as Tomas Xavier Collier, was unable to produce identification. National Crime Information Center revealed Collier’s license was suspended out of Florida and Ohio.

“A check of the vehicle’s registrations and rental agreement revealed that the vehicle was overdue and, furthermore, the authorized user/driver was not present in the vehicle,” Fagiana wrote in a report. “A call to Dollar Rental determined that the rental agreement was void and the owners of the car, Dollar Rental, requested to be called to scene to take possession of the car since the contract was void.”

An inventory of the vehicle included two small baggies in plain view in the rear seat, which was where Alexandria M. Harrison had a white powdery substance similar to a Schedule II narcotic.

“During a plain-view search, a large amount of green, leafy-like substance, believed to be marijuana, was located in a black suitcase,” Fagiana wrote in his report. “Both offenders refused ownership of the Schedule VI. The marijuana weighed in at about 24 grams.”

Collier, 22, Delray, Fla., was charged with manufacture, sell, delivery or resale of a Schedule IV substance and held on $30,000 bond.

Harrison, 26, Pinehurst, N.C., was charged with manufacture, sell, delivery or resale of a Schedule IV substance and held on $30,000 bond.
