Broken headlight leads to crack cocaine arrest
web posted January 18, 2006

JOHNSTON – Johnston Police Officer Joseph Mathis made a vehicle stop due to a headlight out on a Dodge truck Friday night. Officer Mathis reported that as he began to exit his patrol car he noticed a man walking away from the truck at a “fast pace”.

Officer Mathis stopped the man and asked him for identification. While performing a records check on the man Officer Mathis asked if the man had anything in his pockets. The man reached in and emptied his pockets, including a small plastic baggie containing what was believed to be crack cocaine.

After further review, the man, one Roy Allen Black, 39, of Sandra Drive in Johnston, was arrested on charges of possession of crack cocaine and transported to the Edgefield County Detention Center. Currently he is being held on charges of Simple Possession of Marijuana, Possession with intent to Distribute Crack Cocaine and Possession of cocaine.
