A call of someone asleep in a parked car at the Wetumpka Walmart turned into a Class A felony arrest.
The Wetumpka Police Department was notified about 5:45 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6 of a driver “passed out” in a parked car.
“When officers got there, the subjects were asleep in the front seat,” Wetumpka police Maj. Ed Gumpf said. “They could see drug paraphernalia in the driver's lap. Once they got them out, they patted the driver down and found drugs, more paraphernalia and a stolen weapon.”
Gumpf said officers found more than 26 grams of methamphetamine, more than four grams of cocaine, a stolen pistol and more drug paraphernalia on Matthew Potts, 36, of Hampton, Georgia.
Potts was booked into the Elmore County Jail on the Class A felony trafficking fentanyl, the Class B felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, the Class C felony receiving stolen property, two counts of the Class D felony possession of a controlled substance and the Class A misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
