By Staff
A Danville man was taken to Hartselle Medical Center after he swallowed drugs after being stopped by the Hartselle Police.
Michael Rodriquez, 32, of 586 Byrd Road, is charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana in the first degree in connection to the April 10 traffic stop.
Hartselle police stopped Rodriquez for speeding. During the stop, Rodriquez was found to have an outstanding warrant. Police searched the vehicle and found 6 grams of cocaine, 11 Phenobarbital pills and a small amount of marijuana.
