A Thursday traffic stop resulted in the discovery of a large quantity of ice methamphetamine, prescription drugs and cash, an official said.

Limestone County Sheriff’s Office Spokesman Stephen Young said investigators Jamie King and Anthony Bruno spotted a silver Mazda on Easter Ferry Road driven by 47-year-old David Matthew Pugh of 11679 Neely Road, Athens. Young said the investigators knew Pugh had an outstanding probation violation warrant.

King and Bruno stopped Pugh on Fort Hampton Road and arrested him on the outstanding charge. Deputies then noticed paraphernalia in Pugh’s car and conducted a search. The search yielded 2 ounces of ice methamphetamine, eight hydrocodone pills, one Alprazolam pill and $263 in cash.

Young said the estimated street value of the drugs is $1,800. According to state law, possession of an ounce or more of methamphetamine constitutes drug trafficking.

Pugh was subsequently charged with drug trafficking, unlawful attempt to purchase precursors and probation violation.

He remained in the Limestone County Jail Friday with no bond set.
