On 1/30/18, officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Stacy Williams (48 years old, of Jonesborough), and charged him with three counts of selling a Schedule II drug, possession of methamphetamine for resale, three counts of simple possession, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The arrest stems from an investigation that began in early January 2018 into the distribution of illegally diverted prescription drugs. During this investigation, Mr. Williams sold quantities of Schedule II pills to an individual working on behalf of law enforcement on three different occasions. On 1/30/18, Mr. Williams was located and taken into custody on those charges. After he was arrested, Mr. Williams was found to have approximately a quarter-ounce of crystal methamphetamine, various prescription pills, and a small amount of marijuana in his possession.
Williams was transported to the Washington County Detention Center where he was being held in lieu of a $44,000 bond. He was scheduled for arraignment on 1/31/18 in Washington County General Sessions Court at 9:00 a.m.
