(KAIR)--An abandoned, wrecked vehicle, that hit a mailbox before stopping in a ditch, was reported to Jackson County authorities, and that led to the arrest of the alleged driver who now faces drug-related charges.
According to a release from Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, the investigation began around 7:30 Tuesday morning after his office responded to the 1500 block of W. Road, the location of the abandoned vehicle, which was determined by Deputies to be a 2005 Ford Taurus.
The investigation led deputies to a residence in the 17000 block of W. Road, where they located the suspected driver, 47-year-old John Hudson, of Mayetta.
Already wanted on a Jackson County District Court warrant for failure to appear in court on a drug offense, Hudson was found to be in possession of what the Sheriff- Office alleges were illegal narcotics.
Hudson was arrested, and now faces charges for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and for the outstanding warrant.
Once in custody, Hudson was booked into the Jackson County Jail.
