An Athens man is facing multiple drug charges after Limestone County narcotics investigators discovered 47 rocks of crack cocaine, some powder cocaine and a small amount of marijuana at his home Tuesday morning.
Brandon DeWayne Mosley, 24, of 1201 Brownsferry St., is charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance and second-degree illegal possession of marijuana, said Deputy Stephen Young, public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators had obtained a search warrant for the home and searched it Tuesday morning. They found the crack rocks, which weighed a total of 12.5 grams, a baggie containing 0.4 grams of cocaine powder and the marijuana, Young said. They also found a white pasty substance in the plumbing under a bathroom sink that is believed to be cocaine that Mosley attempted to destroy before trying to run out of the house, the deputy said.
Mosley remained in the Limestone County Jail Tuesday with bail set at $13,500.
