Man out on bond for cocaine charge arrested again in Priceville for same offense
Jun. 3—A Decatur man with a history of drug possession charges was arrested Friday for the same thing in addition to driving under the influence after officers found him to be in possession of crack cocaine, according to the Priceville Police Department. At about 4:30 p.m., police said, officers initiated a traffic stop in the 3200 block of Point Mallard Parkway for an expired tag — the same reason officers pulled over Michael Andrew Froman in April, when narcotics were found in his vehicle. Police identified the driver as Froman, 50. They said Froman was subjected to a DUI field investigation and arrested and crack cocaine was also found on him after a search. Froman was transported to Morgan County Jail and charged with DUI and unlawful possession of a controlled substance and was also issued citations for expired tag and no insurance, according to police. Because of Froman being out on bail for a previous drug charge, police said Morgan County Circuit Judge Jennifer Howell set his bail at $30,000 with a hold for bond revocation until there can be a review of the prior case. Froman was arrested by Priceville police on April 15 after being found with 1.1 grams of cocaine near Alabama 67 and Marco Drive after they noticed he had an expired tag, according to a police affidavit. Froman was transported to Morgan County Jail and released on April 18 after posting a $1,000 bond. On June 30, 2018, Decatur police initiated a traffic stop on a black Mazda CX-5 for going 73 mph in a 55 mph zone on Point Mallard Parkway and identified the driver as Froman, according to a police affidavit. The affidavit said Froman was driving under the influence and approximately 3 grams of crack cocaine were found in his passenger seat. He was transported to Morgan County Jail in lieu of a $2,300 bail. The case was dismissed on Dec. 4, 2020, after Froman completed the Drug Court Program, according to an order signed by Morgan County Circuit Judge Charles Elliott. — or 256-340-2442.

2026 Toyota RAV4 PHEV confirmed for Australia
The 2026 Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) has been confirmed for Australian showrooms and is scheduled to arrive in the first half of next year. Toyota Australia confirmed the news with the global unveiling of the sixth-generation RAV4, its most popular vehicle in 2024 and overtaking the Mazda CX-5 as the best-selling SUV in Australia. The RAV4 PHEV will be sold alongside the regular parallel hybrid RAV4, after the existing RAV4 range switched to hybrid only in Australia in mid-2024. Toyota Australia has not confirmed the lineup for the new-generation RAV4 nor which model grades – which includes a new GR Sport flagship –the PHEV powertrain will be offered in when it arrives in local showrooms. 100s of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Pricing has also not been announced, although the local arm of the automaker has previously suggested it would add plug-in tech to models once the price premium over petrol versions has reduced. "We've been very clear that the multi-pathway strategy [for emissions reduction] definitely includes plug-in hybrids in the future. I think they're a great technology," Sean Hanley, Toyota Australia vice president for sales and marketing, previously told CarExpert. It is the first plug-in hybrid Toyota Australia has offered, with Australia never receiving the Prius plug-in hybrid or PHEV-equipped RAV4s sold overseas. "With the launch of our first plug-in hybrid, we are taking that broad customer appeal in a diversified powertrain landscape to a whole new level," Mr Hanley said in a statement. The new-generation 2026 RAV4 PHEV will used a 2.5-litre petrol four-cylinder engine, a 22.7kWh lithium-ion battery, and 150kW electric motor. Toyota says the RAV4 PHEV will have an electric-only driving range of 100km (WLTP), optimised by geofencing enabling the vehicle to use real-world data to decide when to switch between hybrid and electric modes. It will be offered in both all-wheel drive (AWD) and front-wheel drive (FWD) versions, with a 227kW combined output for AWD and 210kW for the FWD RAV4. A 50kW onboard DC charger can top-up the battery from between 10-80 per cent in 30 minutes, with an 11kW AC charger replenishing the battery in a claimed three hours. The move to a PHEV comes as the popularity of broader hybrid technology increases in Australia – as battery-electric sales stagnate – with a 76 per cent sales increase in 2024, and almost half of all hybrid sales coming from Toyota.
