A suspected drug dealer was caught with narcotics during a probation search last Thursday.

23 year old Thomas Braxton Nix of Morgan Drive, Smithville is charged with four counts of sale and delivery of drugs including a schedule II (methamphetamine), schedule III (suboxone), schedule IV (xanax) and a schedule VI (marijuana). He was further cited for possession of drug paraphernalia and charged with bringing contraband in a penal institution. Nix’s bond totals $57,500 and his next court appearance will be May 9. He will be in court on the contraband offense May 16.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on Thursday, May 2 a detective was called to a residence on Morgan Drive to assist with a probation search where Nix was found with 5.5 grams of a white crystal like substance believed to be methamphetamine; 32 white bars believed to be xanax; 2.8 ounces of marijuana; and 38 pink pills thought to be suboxone. The probation search also turned up a set of scales and baggies normally used in the packaging and selling of drugs.

After being brought to the jail for booking, Nix was found with more drugs on him.

“As a correctional officer was escorting him to the pat down room to be searched Nix was asked if he had anything on him for which he could be charged. Nix replied no. Nix was placed in a holding cell and property on him was taken to the booking room to be locked. Upon a search of Nix’s wallet a small baggie was found containing an unidentified white pill and in the corner of the wallet were three small yellow pills believed to be dilaudid,” said Sheriff Ray.
