West Alabama Judge Held on Meth Charge in Mississippi
COLUMBUS, Miss. - An Alabama judge was jailed on methamphetamine possession charges Tuesday in the same Mississippi town where his wife was arrested earlier this year on similar charges.Ira D. Colvin, a district judge from Pickens County, Ala., was arrested Monday afternoon by police investigating suspects who were believed to be traveling store-to-store purchasing ingredients for the drug, said sheriff's officer Ivan Bryan.
Officers found precursors for methamphetamine in Colvin's vehicle along with about a gram of powdered meth and a small amount of the drug in liquefied form like it was ready to be injected, Bryan said.
"He had two needles ready to go," said Bryan.
