Suspect allegedly admits to having drugs
Hopkins County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a residence on County Road 4131 in Cumby at 12:33 p.m. Thursday to perform a welfare check on Bryan Lee Winstead, 31. Deputies were advised Winstead had an active warrant for criminal mischief $100-$750.
When they arrived at the residence, deputies reportedly observed Winstead exiting a garage next to the house. Win-stead allegedly reached into his pocket and reportedly appeared to be extremely nervous while speaking with the deputies. When deputies advised they were going to frisk Winstead, he reportedly advised he was in possession of drugs and gave permission for them to search his pockets.
Deputies reportedly located a hypodermic syringe containing suspected methamphetamine in the left front pocket of Winstead’s jacket and took him into custody.
Winstead reportedly asked deputies to retrieve drug paraphernalia items from the garage to keep them away from children. The contraband reportedly weighed 2.57 grams and field tested positive for methamphetamine.
