On August 2, 2024, United States District Court Judge Kristi K. DuBose sentenced Michael Anthony Woods II to 60 months imprisonment for possession with the intent to distribute cocaine.
Documents filed with the court established that on May 1, 2023, officers with the Brewton Police Department had an active arrest warrant for Woods for violation of a protection order. During the execution of the arrest warrant at Woods’s home in Brewton, Woods ran from the officers but was captured and arrested.
While at the scene of the arrest, officers looked through the windshield of a Dodge Charger “Scat-Pack” parked in the driveway that they had seen Woods retrieve something from just before his arrest. Officers were able to see drugs in the vehicle. A later full search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of approximately 608 grams of cocaine and crack cocaine. The powder cocaine was still in the form of what was left of a kilogram brick.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the City of Brewton Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney George F. May.
