50-year-old arrested in Priceville for DUI, having crack cocaine during traffic stop
PRICEVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — A Decatur man was arrested in Priceville Friday for a DUI after officers initially stopped his vehicle for an expired tag. The Priceville Police Department said around 4:30 p.m., officers stopped a vehicle in the 3200 block of Point Mallard Parkway for an expired tag. The department said the tag read 4/23. When officers approached the vehicle, the driver, identified as 50-year-old Michael Andrew Froman of Decatur, was subjected to a DUI field investigation. As a result of the investigation, Froman was arrested for driving under the influence. Upon further investigation, a quantity of crack cocaine was discovered in Froman's possession. Froman was taken to the Morgan County Jail where he was charged with DUI and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. He was also issued citations for an expired tag and no insurance. Due to Froman currently being out on bond for a previous drug charge, Morgan County Circuit Judge Jennifer Howell set his bond at $30,000 with a hold for bond revocation pending a review of the prior case.
