TRAFFIC STOP LEADS TO DRUG, RESISTING ARRESTS

VIDALIA— Three subjects were arrested on several charges after a traffic stop Thursday by Vidalia Police Officers. The driver was identified as Alexandria Ellis, 32, of Vidalia. The front seat passenger was identified as Layce Starling, 34, of Natchez and the rear passenger was identified as Charles Brandon Roberts, 40, of Ferriday.

While talking to Ellis, an officer noticed Roberts nervously putting something into his pocket. He was asked to exit the vehicle. As he got out, he attempted to reach into his pocket again. He wouldn’t comply with officers’ command to stop reaching into his pocket. He was eventually detained after resisting officers. He attempted to destroy evidence during this process. Upon searching the vehicle, officers recovered more narcotics and drug paraphernalia.

Roberts was charged with four bench warrants, possession of schedule II (methamphetamine), possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting an officer. Ellis was charged with two bench warrants and two counts of possession of a legend drug. Starling was charged with one bench warrant, possession of schedule III (Suboxone), possession of schedule IV (Xanax) and drug paraphernalia.
