On July 16, 2017 deputies arrested Liam Rodwell 27 of Memphis, TN for Possession of a Controlled Substance with Purpose to Deliver and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

The arrest came after a Lawrence County Deputy stopped to assist a vehicle on Highway 63 which was sitting on the shoulder with its emergency flashers on. When the deputy approached the vehicle he observed smoke coming from the driver’s side window and smelled the strong odor of marijuana. The driver of the vehicle, Rodwell, admitted to deputies he was “smoking a joint” and gave permission to search the vehicle.

During the search deputies found Methamphetamine, Xanax, Cocaine and Amyl Nitrate (an inhalant).

Rodwell was arrested and transported to the Lawrence County Jail.
