On Thursday, deputies from the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle that was found to be displaying an incorrect license plate. This routine check led to the apprehension of an individual identified as Mark Anthony Whisman. Following the stop, the deputies obtained consent to search the vehicle, which yielded a significant discovery.
During the search, law enforcement officials uncovered methamphetamine, marijuana, various pipes, and scales typically associated with drug distribution. As a result of these findings, Whisman now faces multiple charges, including possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The incident underscores the ongoing efforts of local law enforcement to address drug-related offenses in the community.
