A 54-year-old Marshall man was arrested and has been charged with a felony after a Saline County deputy allegedly observed a narcotic transaction in progress on August 2.

According to a report from the sheriff’s department, the subject was presumed to purchase the narcotics, and immediately departed the scene on a bicycle upon the deputy’s approach. The deputy conducted a traffic stop of the bicycle, at which time the subject became uncooperative and attempted to walk away. The subject then resisted while the deputy attempted to take him into custody.

A search of the subject revealed methamphetamine, prescription pills, marijuana and currency, which was consistent with the sales of narcotics. The subject was transported to the Saline County Sheriff’s Department without further incident.

Court documents say Timothy Leon Smith is charged with a felony for possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanors for resisting arrest, possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. Bond is set at $10,000 cash only.

Smith was arraigned on Wednesday, August 4. His next hearing is pending at Saline County Circuit Court.
