Clayton Continues to Keep Drugs Off the Street
A routine traffic stop last Tuesday turns into another large drug bust for the Clayton Police Department. Investigator Ryan Hamilton gave details…
“Officer John Grist made a routine traffic stop on a Ford pickup. He suspected the guys were carrying illegal contraband, a K-9 unit was called from the Sheriff’s Office, and they discovered over an once and a half of meth inside the vehicle.”
The two men in the vehicle, Eric Allen Dixon and Benjamin Blake James were initially pulled over for not wearing their seat-belts. Hamilton says meth was not the only thing found…
“There was marijuana, and scales, and a couple other small baggies.”
Over $2,000 and several Schedule IV narcotics were also confiscated. Both men face multiple drug charges.
