CULLMAN – Pursuant to a traffic stop by the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) at 6:47p.m., on May 16th, 2015 near Day Gap Road for a misdemeanor traffic violation two suspects, Mr. Brian Martin and Ms. Cassandra Cooper, were identified by CCSO as having active warrants in another jurisdiction and were placed under arrest.

After deputies began to do an inventory of the vehicle they discovered multiple hypodermic syringes, multiple clear plastic bags commonly used for packaging illegal narcotics, as well as another bag that tested positive for residue of Methamphetamine.

Multiple other deputies as well as Cullman Narcotics Enforcement Team (CNET) arrived on the scene once further inventory of the truck’s tool box led to the discovery of multiple other ingredients commonly used in the production of Methamphetamine.

“This is a prime example of proactive law enforcement by the deputies and I want to thank them for hard work in this case” said Sheriff Matt Gentry.

Martin and Cooper were arrested for Unlawful Manufacture of Controlled Substance 1st Degree. Both are being held in the Cullman County Detention Center on a $1,000,000.00 bond. Other arrest may be pending.
