A Dike teen, arrested on Church Street early Monday morning, is accused of cocaine possession, according to arrest reports.
Officers were dispatched at 1:11 a.m. May 18 to a report of a suspicious vehicle in the 500 block of Church Street. Upon arrival in the area, officer located a blue Chrysler 300, which matched the description of the vehicle described by the caller as suspicious, according to arrest reports.
When officers contacted the occupant, they alleged a strong odor of marijuana was smelled coming from the car. Collin Stephen Moore allegedly handed officers a bag containing a powdery substance they believed base on their training to be cocaine. A search of the car revealed a small amount of suspected marijuana, Sulphur Springs Police Special Crimes Unit Sgt. Joe Scott alleged in arrest reports.
Thus, the 19-year-old Dike man was taken into custody at 1:15 a.m. Monday, May 18 for possession of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance, which allegedly weighed less than 1 gram. A drug-free zone enhancement was added to the charge because the arrest occurred within 1,000 feet of Water Oak Preschool, Scott noted in arrest reports.
Moore remained in Hopkins County jail late Monday morning. Bond on the third-degree felony charge was set at $10,000, according to jail reports.
