Two Huntsville Men Arrested for Drug Trafficking in Separate Incidents

In a busy stretch of Huntsville, law enforcement officials have made significant strides in tackling drug-related offenses, leading to the arrests of two men involved in separate incidents, each with their own alarming details.

Myron Strong’s Arrest: A Routine Traffic Stop Turns Serious

On November 14, during a typical traffic stop on busy Purdy Drive, officers encountered Myron Strong. What started as an ordinary vehicle stop quickly took a dramatic turn when authorities detected a strong smell of marijuana coming from Strong’s vehicle. Curious to investigate, they conducted a search that revealed bags filled with the illegal substance.

In total, Strong was found to be in possession of at least 2.2 pounds of marijuana. Given the substantial amount, he was charged with drug trafficking and promptly booked into the Madison County Jail. Authorities have set Strong’s bond at a whopping $1,500,000, highlighting the seriousness of the charges against him.

Stanley Dwayne Billions Jr. Arrested with Methamphetamine

Stanley Dwayne Billions Jr., a 40-year-old man, was arrested on June 6. The stop took place on Interstate 65 south of the Elkmont exit. As deputies approached his truck, they detected a familiar scent of marijuana, raising their suspicions further. To complicate matters, it was revealed that Billions had an active warrant out for his arrest.

When deputies requested that Billions exit his vehicle, he resisted, making the process more difficult. However, officers were eventually able to subdue him and take him into custody. The search of his truck yielded a staggering 352 grams of methamphetamine and 14 ounces of marijuana – a significant haul indeed. Billions was booked into the Limestone County Jail and his bond was set at $106,000.

A Shocking Drug Seizure in North Huntsville

112 grams (4oz) of fentanyl, along with 3 grams of ice, approximately $6,000 in cash, and a stolen Smith & Wesson handgun.

In connection with this operation, two individuals were arrested. Jamall King, 29, faced charges of drug trafficking (specifically fentanyl), possession of marijuana, and theft of property in the fourth degree, with bonds totaling $151,500. Meanwhile, Rashad King, 25, was arrested for being a forbidden person carrying a firearm and possession of marijuana in the second degree, his bond set at $1,000.

During this tense episode, the situation escalated as suspects attempted to flee the scene, ultimately striking a gas line. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but authorities evacuated a nearby apartment complex out of an abundance of caution, allowing residents to return just before 5 p.m.

Community Struggles with Drug Trafficking Issues

As Huntsville grapples with these problems, the need for community awareness and collaboration with law enforcement remains essential. The arrests of Strong, Billions, the Kings, and others serve as stark reminders of the ongoing challenges faced in the battle against illegal substances and the potential dangers they pose to the community.
