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.

British teen 'drug mule' Bella Culley 'has been left to freeze in Georgian jail cell and received no medical treatment despite her pregnancy'
Drug arrest Brit Bella Culley has revealed she has been left freezing in her Georgian jail cell and is receiving no medical attention despite telling officials she is pregnant. The 18-year-old has asked for a jumper and warmer clothes and requested fresh fruit after being visited by local celebrity lawyer Mariam Kublashvili. Bella, who is sharing a cell with two inmates called Anastasya and Ani, also requested tuna which Ms Kublashvili believes may be 'pregnancy cravings'. 'She is pregnant and needs medical care which she complained she wasn't getting,' the glamorous Georgian lawyer told the Mail after a 30-minute meeting this morning at notorious Women's Penitentiary Number Five. 'She asked me for tuna fish which I thought was odd and might have been something to do with pregnancy cravings - but fish cannot be sent in. 'She told me no tests, checks or medical examinations have been done. 'She said she asked for a doctor, but the doctor wasn't speaking English and they couldn't understand each other.' Ms Kublashvili, who previously represented speedboat killer Jack Shepherd when he was caught in Georgia, has been closely following the case and said she has great sympathy for Bella's predicament. While she is not representing the Teesside teenager, the former model used a routine visit to her prison to meet her and offered to use her legal clout to get her supplies. Ms Kublashivili, 39, who has specialised in helping female prisoners, said Bella was 'visibly cold' in the drafty meeting room and requested a jumper as she only had on a thin dark green top and blue leggings. She said: 'My Initial impression was very positive - she is very open, very pleasant, and charming. She doesn't fit the profile of a drug trafficker at all. 'For anyone, like me, with experience in dealing with such cases, it would be quite obvious that she is a victim here - she's been used and manipulated. 'I have a 20 year old child myself and can only imagine what her parents must be feeling.' Bella was arrested at Tbilisi Airport on May 11 and found with 12kg of cannabis and 2kg of hashish after getting a £550 Air Arabia flight from Bangkok via Sharjah. But local bureaucracy has blocked her distraught father Niel (corr) Culley, 49, from visiting since he arrived in the country last Wednesday. Ms Kublashvili said: 'She expects her dad to visit either tomorrow (Tues) or after tomorrow. 'She asked me if a jumper and warmer clothes - size medium - could be sent to her. 'I'm obviously happy to do that and she wants fruits as well – doesn't like what she is fed in the prison at all. I will be sending fruit over too. 'But she is sad and would very much like to go home.' Bella is sharing a cell with two other women inmates, but it was unclear what crimes they have been accused of or committed, Ms Kublashvili said. The lawyer added: 'She is getting along well with her inmates – two of them, Anastasya and Ani. 'She asked me to get in touch with her dad – she said she knew he was getting lawyers and that carried significant financial costs. 'But I have a great deal of experience helping women in situations like this and want to do all I can for her - and I'm offering my service free of charge.' Ms Kublashivili said Bella was 'very polite' and 'shy', saying thank you 'every five minutes'. It is the first time the teenage Brit has been heard from since she appeared in Tbilisi city court last week appearing shell shocked dressed only in a skimpy white top and shorts. She had been travelling around South East Asia and only appears to have clothes for the beach despite the cold conditions of her jail cell. Bella was arrested on May 11 and appeared at court two days later which was broadcast locally and word finally reached her family the following day. Father Niel yesterday vowed to stay in Georgia for 'as long as it takes' to bring his daughter back home. Ms Kublashvili is a former model who once appeared on 'The Stars Are Dancing' - Georgia's version of Strictly Come Dancing . She fought to prevent speedboat killer Shepherd from extradition in 2019 after he was detained in Georgia over the killing of 24-year-old Charlotte Brown during a speedboat date on the Thames. He was eventually extradited three months later after Shepherd agreed provided his safety was taken into consideration. He served out the remainder of his sentence and was released on remand in January last year. He is living in the UK and is not permitted to leave the country as part of his remand conditions. Ms Kublashvili's most famous case is defending Temirlan Machalikashvili's family, a teenager shot dead in his bed by Georgian law enforcement who claimed he was linked to ISIS. Ms Kublashvili, who runs her own law firm, has spoken movingly about losing her father at the age of five and had a tough life raised by strict mountain traditions. She went on to start her own law company, and is famous for winning tough cases.
