Deputies were notified about an accident on I-81 North in Sullivan County, Tennessee around 10 am on Sunday.
When deputies searched the vehicle they found six grams of marijuana, 0.6 grams of cocaine, a pipe, rolling papers, a 3/4 empty bottle of Crown Royal, a small empty bottle of Crown Royal and several cans used for ‘huffing,’ according to the police report.
England faces multiple offences including drug and traffic charges. He was charged with driving under the influence, felony possession of Schedule II drugs for resale/manufacture/deliver, possession of Schedule VI drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Bristol Herald Courier.
Two witnesses confirmed the story as they said England was speeding down the highway and for no apparent reason he decided to leave the road on the right side.
