Colton man arrested for drugs

ROSALIA - A man sleeping in a 2003 silver Honda Accord with his penis exposed at a rest area, ended up spending the night in jail.

Jonathan M. Hopkins, 34, of Colton was arrested on Sept. 15 for possession of illegal drugs, according to court records.

A Whitman County deputy investigated a suspicious vehicle at the rest area along State Route 195 at about 10 p.m. on Sept. 14. He found a man sleeping in the driver's seat of the Honda with his zipper down and penis out, according to the policed report.

Bags and drug paraphernalia could be seen by the deputy and blue pills from outside of the car. The driver declined to allow the deputy to search the vehicle and a search warrant was obtained.

The deputy reportedly found a black zipper bag containing roughly 150 blue "Mexi" pills, which contain fentanyl and are illegal, a red zipper bag with another 25-30 Mexi pills, two clear bags with methamphetamine, and one clear bag with 3 grams of black tar heroin, according to court records.
