A Copan man who was arrested earlier this week on drug charges appeared in Washington County District Court Thursday afternoon to face formal charges. 50-year old Joe Nine Beck is charged with trafficking in methamphetamine and possession of drugs without tax stamp affixed. Washington County Sheriff Deputies conducted a traffic stop with no headlights on Golden Avenue west of Caney Street in Copan.
According to a court affidavit, deputies noticed Beck was nervous and shaking. Officers searched Beck and found two bags of meth totaling 45 grams along with two dollars.
Beck's next court date is May 8th. He remains in jail on a $250,000 bond.
