Drunk, armed man arrested in store

Officers, notified of a man who was "staggering around the store," arrived to find Samuel Prosser, 51, Temple Ford Lane, "smacking" two packages on a counter with his hands, Officer Bruce Davis said.

Officers also found nine packages of Fentanyl and containers of various types of pills in Prosser's possession.

Charges of possession of schedule II drugs, public intoxication and carrying a weapon while under the influence were filed against Prosser, who posted $7,500 bond.

Crocker found Eller "swaying" while walking along the shoulder of South Cannon and discovered .61 grams of marijuana and a marijuana pipe in her possession.

Eller was charged with public intoxication, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was being held Tuesday on $1,500 bond.
