February 17, Corporal Justin Schubert
observed a white 2015 Ford Fusion traveling
north on Highway 19, at what appeared to
be a high rate of speed. Cpl. Schubert
activated his radar unit which indicated the
Ford was traveling at 72 mph in a 60-mph
area. Cpl. Schubert detained the vehicle
and, as he interacted with the driver,
detected the odor of marijuana.
Further investigation by Schubert led to the
discovery of approximately $50,000 worth of
narcotics and a stolen handgun. Cpl.
Schubert located marijuana, Xanax,
Ecstasy, codeine, and promethazine cough
syrup.
The driver, Claude Edward Slaughter III, a
23-year-old Humble, Texas resident, was
arrested on the following charges:
1. Manufacture & delivery of a controlled
substance PG1 (F1)
2. Manufacture & delivery of a controlled
substance PG2 (F1)
3. Manufacture & delivery of a controlled
substance PG3 (F2)
4. Possession of a dangerous drug (MA)
5. Possession of marijuana (MB)
6. Theft of a firearm (SJF)
7. Unlawful possession of a firearm (SJF)
Huntsville Police Chief, Kevin Lunsford,
commends Cpl. Schubert for his diligent
traffic enforcement and keen police skills
which led to the removal of the drugs and a
handgun. "The community is a safer place
thanks to Cpl. Schubert," Lunsford said.
