Three people were arrested in Summerville earlier this week after a sobriety checkpoint on Butler Dairy Road led to the discovery of meth, fentanyl, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. Reports said that deputies stopped a white Ford Fusion and immediately noticed the smell of marijuana. The rear passenger, Nicholas Trammell, was found to have an active warrant. The driver, Christopher Davenport, was given a field sobriety test, while passenger April Carlton was removed for a search of the vehicle.
Inside, deputies found nearly 30 grams of marijuana, methamphetamine laced with fentanyl, drug paraphernalia, cash, and open containers of alcohol. A metal wallet holding $670 was also recovered.
Carlton (33), Davenport (32), and Trammell (43) face multiple felony drug charges, including Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Schedule II Drug(s),, Possession, Manufacturing, etc., of Certain Controlled Substances, Felony Possession/Manufacture/Sell/Purchase of Marijuana, Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute and Possession of Drug Related Objects.
Christopher Lee Davenport was additionally charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and No Insurance.
All three were taken to the Chattooga County Jail. The vehicle was impounded, and evidence was secured.
