Man accused of methamphetamine possession
Richard Otto Hall, Jr., 41, of Sulphur Springs was arrested during a traffic stop at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Loop 301 at 9:28 p.m. Monday on a charge of possession of 4 grams or more but less than 200 grams of a Penalty Group 1/1-B controlled substance.
Hall, driving a silver Nissan Frontier pickup, was stopped for a defective license plate, Hopkins County Sheriff's Office Deputy Isaac Foley alleged in police reports.

Hall was taken into custody and transported to the Hopkins County jail. The substance field-tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed approximately 7.124 grams. The location of the stop was within approximately 683 feet of Paris Junior College, a drugfree zone, so the charge was enhanced.
