A Clarksville man was charged with possession of drugs after a vehicle fire on Means Avenue in Hopkinsville Tuesday morning.
Hopkinsville Police say they were in the area assisting the fire department with a vehicle fire when they were called for 25-year-old Martavion Butler who got into the vehicle after it was extinguished.
Butler who was reportedly giving officers a false name was put in the back of an officer’s car to keep warm while waiting on his ride.
Police say when he exited the officer’s vehicle they could see part of a bag hanging out of his underwear that is believed to contain heroin and another unknown drug.
He was arrested and while entering the jail he reportedly gave them his name as Martavion Butler. He is charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance (unspecified) and giving officers false identifying information.
