A Sebring, Fla. woman and an Atmore man were jailed September 4 on felony drug violations after Atmore police discovered them on the U.S. 31 property where Buster’s Restaurant formerly operated.
Police reports show that Tiffany Denise Dale, 38, and Danial Payton Taylor, 52, are each charged with one count of possession of a controlled substance (a felony) and possession of drug paraphernalia (a misdemeanor).
A police officer spotted the duo on the property around 12:40 p.m., despite several “No Trespassing” signs and a band of yellow tape. A search of the couple’s property turned up several syringes with a crystal-like residue that field-tested positive for methamphetamine, along with spoons and other items that also contained residue that field-tested positive for methamphetamine.
Dale was released from ECDC September 7 on bond. Taylor, who is also the subject of warrants in Escambia and Baldwin counties, remained behind bars late early Tuesday, September 12, without bond.
