Deputy Tre Spearman charged 48-year-old Matthew Goldsmith of Marion with Possession with Intent to Sell, Manufacture or Deliver a Schedule II Controlled Substance, Possession of a Schedule I Controlled Substance and Possession of Methamphetamine. Goldsmith was ordered to be held without a bond due to being out on bond for previous unrelated charges.
On August 11th Deputy Spearman stopped a vehicle on Sugar Hill Road for a traffic violation. The driver of the vehicle did not have a valid driver’s license and Goldsmith was the only passenger. Deputy Spearman spotted numerous empty beer cans strewn throughout the interior of the car. A Marion Police Department K9 responded and alerted for the presence of controlled substances. A search of Goldsmith turned up fifteen grams of suspected methamphetamine and a small amount of suspected mushrooms.
