Gainesville Police arrested a local man late Friday after he hid drugs in a woman’s pants.
Officers arrested Corey Levon Gregg, 29, on charges of methamphetamine sale and marijuana possession, according to a police report.
At about 10:30 p.m., an officer pulled over a car driven by Gainesville resident Candice Thomas. Gregg was in the passenger seat. The officer could smell marijuana on Thomas during the stop. After a search yielded no results, the officer asked about the smell. Thomas reached into her pants and pulled out two bags, one with about eight grams of crystal meth and the other with about one gram of marijuana, according to the report.
Thomas told the officer the drugs belonged to Gregg. When the officer pulled the car over, she said Gregg told her to hold them and shoved them down her pants. The amount of meth is more than what is typically consumed by a user, and Gregg didn’t have any tools to ingest it, according to the report.
Officers booked Gregg into jail at about 1 a.m. Saturday, where he remained Sunday night with a $51,000 bond.
