Michael Bozeman

The Elmore County Sheriff’s Office has taken illegal drugs off the streets and made an arrest.

Michael Bozeman, 39, of Wetumpka, was arrested Wednesday following a search of his Owens Road home.

“We obtained information that he was involved in selling narcotics and were able to obtain a search warrant,” Elmore County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Ric Boruillard said. “We found methamphetamine, marijuana and weapons inside.”

As law enforcement searched Bozeman’s property, he attempted to dispose of some of the drugs.

“He dumped it in the back of the toilet,” Boruillard said. “When he did that, any mixture thereof we can charge him with. Anything that will test positive for methamphetamine, we can charge for it.”

“He has previous felony convictions,” Boruillard said.

Bozeman was taken to the Elmore County Jail where he has a $1,532,000 bond available to him.
