Officer recognizes man driving on suspended license, makes traffic stop and finds meth

Sometimes getting recognized is a positive. Other times it’s a negative. In this particular instance, Jonathan Cody Thompson would say it was a negative.

According to the incident report, on May 8, a deputy noticed Thompson, 33, driving a vehicle and knew that Thompson had a suspended license. The officer stopped Thompson at Bowens Mill Road SE and Brantley Boulevard. 

Thompson was out on bond for a burglary charge and the officer suspected that he was also involved in the methamphetamine trade. The officer searched the vehicle and found a quantity of suspected methamphetamine. Thompson was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and driving with a suspended license. He remains in the Coffee County Jail.
