A Carthage man involved in a truck crash last week near Liberty was found with methamphetamine.

38 year old Mark William Green is charged with driving under the influence and possession of methamphetamine with the intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver. His bond totals $17,500 and he will be in court January 17.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on Thursday, January 3 a deputy responded to Smith Fork due to a truck accident. After the crash, the driver drove away from the scene but the deputy spotted the vehicle on Hannah Branch Road. Green was behind the wheel unconscious. The officer stopped and awoke him but Green kept trying to fall asleep. His eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred. Green said he had taken several xanax the night before and was still hung over. Because of his condition, Green was unable to perform field sobriety tasks.

As Green got out of his truck, the deputy spotted a small package wrapped in black electrical tape setting in the driver seat. Green said the package contained one ounce of meth. The officer opened the package and found one ounce of a white crystal rock like substance believed to be methamphetamine. Several small plastic bags were also found in Green’s possession.
