A driver unable to maintain his lane on Highway 6 at the Girmes County line is found to not be drunk, but is still arrested on drug and frearm charges.
Brazos County Sheriff’s Office says they stopped 23 year old Evan Alexander Berger of Houston at FM 159 for swerving in and out of traffic Tuesday night. Berger told the officer he was distracted by his cell phone, which itself is a traffic violation.
A search of the vehicle yielded no alcoholic beverages, but Berger advised he had a Sig Sauer P365 in his backpack. Also inside the backpack was a white contained with THC gummies. Berger admitted to getting them from a fellow fratiernity member, in hopes of calming him down.
Berger was taken to jail on charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance between 4 grams and 400 grams for the THC gummies, and Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon.
He was released after posting bonds totaling $31,000.
