Eva man on bond for drug possession arrested again in Priceville for drug trafficking
Jun. 2—On Sunday, police arrested an Eva man who was out on bail for drug possession and charged him with dangerous drug trafficking after fentanyl and methamphetamine were found in his vehicle, according to the Priceville Police Department.
Christopher Stephen Shadix, 56, was being held without bail in the Morgan County Jail and was also charged with second-degree unlawful possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
At about 11:30 p.m., police said officers initiated a traffic stop at Mountain Valley Road and Point Mallard Parkway. Police then began a narcotics field investigation and used their K9 to search Shadix's vehicle.
"The ensuing search revealed a mixture of fentanyl and methamphetamine, marijuana, and various drug paraphernalia, including digital scales, within the vehicle," police said.
On August 26, 2023, Shadix was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute after he was found with 26 grams of a controlled substance after a traffic stop in Somerville, according to an affidavit signed by a Priceville police officer. His jury trial for that case is scheduled to begin Oct. 20 before Morgan County Circuit Judge Jennifer Howell.
