Two City Men Charged with Drug Possession Following Traffic Stop

October 18, 2016 By WRFA 1 Comment

Jamestown Police BadgeJAMESTOWN – Two city men have been arrested on drug charges following a routine traffic stop Friday night in downtown Jamestown.

City police say they stopped a vehicle driven by 39 year-old Walter Whitfield after he was observed allegedly using a cell phone while driving. The traffic stop took place at about 8:30 p.m. Friday at 200 W. 3rd Street.

During the stop, officers discovered that Whifield was wanted on several outstanding warrants. A further investigation also turned up packaging material for drugs, and about half an ounce of methamphetamine.

Whitfield and a passenger, identified as 35 year-old Lanie Philbrick were both taken into custody, arraigned on related charges, and sent to the county jail.
