MTPD arrests two in separate cases
The Marked Tree Police Department announced Monday the arrest of two area men, on separate criminal charges. According to Police Chief Jim Crum, last Saturday at around 3:15 p.m., the Marked Tree Police Department arrested Brandon McCullar, 19, of Tyronza on drug-related charges, stemming from a traffic stop in the city limits. The MTPD told the Tri-City Tribune that having knowledge that McCullar's driver's license was suspended, McCullar was arrested and charged with Driving on a Suspended Driver's License. A subsequent search of the vehicle, according to the MTPD, netted a plastic bag containing a substance believed to be marijuana, a smaller bag containing a white powder believed to be crystal methamphetamine, along with several items of drug paraphernalia. The MTPD also states that a BB pistol was located on the right side of the driver's seat of the vehicle.
