Crenshaw County Sheriff’s Office investigators attempted a traffic stop which led to a short vehicle pursuit and two arrests for alleged drug charges Thursday evening in the Highland Home area.

Trent Broadway, of Rutledge, was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of marijuana, attempt to elude law enforcement, reckless driving, and several traffic citations, while Terry Kelley, of Highland Home, faces charges of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of marijuana, and two outstanding warrants with the Luverne Police Department.

Around 10 p.m., investigators initiated an attempt to stop the vehicle driven Broadway.

“It was a short pursuit,” said Crenshaw County Sheriff’s Investigator Chris Stewart. “It was for an equipment violation and the vehicle fled.”

Broadway fled down New Bethel Church Road towards Lapine and led law enforcement on a chase that ended just past Magnolia Shores Road.

“He [Broadway] was weaving back and forth across both lanes,” Stewart said. “Luckily, no one was coming up to New Bethel Church to endanger anyone. He came to a stop next to some chicken houses.”

After stopping, Broadway and the passenger, Terry Kelley, of Highland Home, were detained for further investigation.

Evidence resulted in a vehicle search revealing methamphetamines and marijuana.

Officers arrested Broadway and Kelley, who were transported to the Crenshaw County Jail.
