A Springhill man already wanted on a warrant for distributing illegal narcotics is now facing more drug counts as the result of a traffic violation in Cullen.

Dametrick Flournoy, a resident of the 1600 block of Walnut Rd., is facing additional charges of possession of CDS Sch. I (synthetic marijuana) with intent to distribute and possession of CDS Sch. II (methamphetamines) following his arrest Monday.

According to the arrest report, a Cullen police officer stopped Flournoy for a seat belt violation around 1:30 p.m. Monday and learned he was the subject of an outstanding warrant for distribution of methamphetamines.

After contacting Springhill PD for assistance, officers conducted an inventory in preparation for towing the vehicle. Inside the vehicle, officers reportedly found a large zip-loc baggie of suspected synthetic marijuana and a tied baggie containing suspected methamphetamines.

Flournoy is being held in Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center. His bond reportedly has been set at $100,000.
