Bama man faces drug charges

An Alabama man faces a drug charge in Alcorn County.
Dewayne Dennis McCarley, 32, of 146 Blue Grass Road, Hackelburg, Ala., was arrested on Wednesday and charged with possession of 15 grams or more of pseudoephedrine with intent to manufacture a controlled substance. Bond was set at $5,000.
Officers with the Alcorn Narcotics Unit received information that a male was purchasing pills at pharmacies to make methamphetamine. Officers found the subject and observed him purchasing pills at different pharmacies, according to Narcotics Investigator Darrell Hopkins.
Officers followed the suspect as he traveled east in a truck on U.S. Highway 72. The camper shell blew off the vehicle into the road, and officers interviewed the driver and found that he had purchased pseudoephedrine.
