Alabama Man Caught With A Drug Test Falsification Device

A 23-year-old Demopolis, Alabama man was caught with a drug test falsification device as well as marijuana Wednesday night, according to arrest reports.

A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper reported stopping a white TTST Freightliner at 8 p.m. April 17, 2020, on Interstate 30 east at mile marker 137 for a defective head light. A probable cause search revealed a usable quantity of marijuana and a drug test falsification kit in the vehicle.

The 23-year-old southwestern Alabama resident in the big rig admitted to using the kit to pass his drug test for work. The truck driver was taken into custody and transported by a Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office deputy to the county jail, where he was booked on the misdemeanor offenses of possession of a drug test falsification device (the kit) and possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana. The truck tractor and semi trailer were inspected, inventoried and released by the DPS officer to a towing service for storage.

The Alabama truck driver remained in Hopkins County jail Thursday morning, April 15, 2021. His bond was set at $1,000 each on the marijuana and drug test falsification kit.
