Steven Ashley Storey, 38 of Rome, was jailed this week after police said they found him in possession of methamphetamine while being taken into custody for probation violation.

Officers said that while serving the warrant at a location on Russell Drive they observed Storey come out from a wooded area.  After telling police that he had “dope”, methamphetamine was found in his pants pocket.

Police added that a woman who had been walking with officers turned over a glass pipe to them.   After the pipe was confiscated, the woman was released.  

Storey is charged with possession of methamphetamine and probation violation.
