DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police arrested a 43-year-old Dunwoody man Jan. 31 after a license plate check at the North Peachtree Road Dunkin’ Donuts revealed an active warrant.
While an officer was conducting license plate checks, he was notified that the registered owner of a black 2012 Kia Optima had an active warrant out of the Cherokee County Sherrif’s Office for a probation violation regarding the possession of amphetamine.
The sheriff’s office later confirmed the warrant with Dunwoody officers.
When the officer approached the vehicle, he confirmed the identity of the registered owner and detained him.
The officer said he found more than 15 grams of methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia in the vehicle.
Because the suspect said he had suicidal ideations, a license clinician with the Dekalb County co-responder program responded to the scene.
The man, who complained of arm pain, was cleared by a doctor at Northside Hospital, then transported to DeKalb County Jail.
Police obtained warrants for possession of drug-related objects and methamphetamine.
