Drugs Found on Marion Man at Traffic Stop
Detective David Jones with the McDowell County Sheriff’s Office Community Impact Team charged 51-year-old William Paul Shelton Jr. with felony possession of methamphetamine. He was denied bond due to being out on pretrial release.
On Thursday, March 13, detectives conducted a traffic stop on U.S. 70 West and discovered that Shelton, the driver of the vehicle, had an outstanding arrest warrant and was driving with a suspended license.
A search of his person by Detective Adam Burnette turned up a suspected amount of methamphetamine and pink pills.
Shelton was placed under arrest and transported to the McDowell County Detention Center.
