Bond has been set at $750,000 for a 31-year-old Centralia man facing four new drug charges after meth and fentanyl were located following a Tuesday morning traffic crash.
Lonnie Williamson of North Poplar has been charged with a Class X offense of possession with the intent to deliver 15 to 100 grams of methamphetamine. The charge requires a minimum six-year to a 30-year prison term. He was also charged with possession of 15 to 100 grams of methamphetamine, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance of 1 to 15 grams of fentanyl, and possession of the fentanyl.
The charges followed eight grams of fentanyl beans and 26 grams of methamphetamine being located in a backpack that had identification for Williamson. He had reportedly given the backpack to a passenger. However, when the passenger, 26-year-old Amber Tolliver of South Franklin in Salem, was arrested on a Clinton County misdemeanor warrant sheriff’s deputies searched the backpack and allegedly found the drugs.
Williamson was a current participant in the Marion County Drug Court program.
Both Williamson and Tolliver were not hurt during the crash at Old 51 and Range Road north of Sandoval but had to have assistance getting out of the vehicle from Sandoval Firemen.
