Frazier, a Talladega County worker, was accused of delivering the drugs to an individual using his county work truck, the statement said. Evidence presented at trial showed that a K-9 had detected the drugs, according to prosecutors.

Authorities did not say what Frazier’s role was for Talladega County or when the delivery allegedly happened.

He faces up to life in prison at an upcoming sentencing, according to the statement.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case with the Talladega County Drug Task Force.
