Mr. Williamson stated something that happened a long time ago,” Officer Wilson stated. “When Mr. Williamson was emptying his pockets an orange pipe fell onto the asphalt. Mr. Williamson also dropped a small corner baggie containing a white crystalline substance.”

Williamson was arrested for possession of meth and possession of drug-related objects.8
