Littering bust lands man in jail on drug charges

[November 12, 2008]  LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- Police said a man likely wishes he never threw trash on a highway. That's because littering wasn't the only charge filed against him. The man, 42, faces drug charges after deputies seized 6 pounds of methamphetamine from his vehicle.

He was arrested Friday on Interstate 85. Deputies also learned he was wanted in Louisiana for failure to appear.

The meth was valued at approximately $350,000 on the streets.

The man was charged with trafficking methamphetamine, littering and other traffic violations.
