McIntosh PD arrests one for marijuana possession The McIntosh Police Department reported the Feb. 1 arrest of Vincent Forney, 37, of Birmingham, who was charged with second degree possession of marijuana. According to police reports, Officer Walter Conner stopped Forney for speeding on U.S. Highway 43, around 8 p.m. A driver's license check revealed the subject was on probation for armed robbery. Officer Conner asked Forney to exit his vehicle and proceeded to pat him down for weapons. During the search he found a small amount of what he believed to be marijuana in Forney's left coat pocket. Upon further search, Conner found a glass pipe, with what appeared to be marijuana residue in it, in Forney's right coat pocket. The pipe reportedly also smelled of the illegal drug.
Forney was arrested, charged and released. He will be required to appear in McIntosh Municipal Court.
