A 41-year-old man on parole for drug trafficking faces new felony charges after Bonneville County Sheriff’s Deputies found meth in his vehicle during a Sunday night traffic stop.
Jeffery Don Williams was arrested on March 8 and placed into the Bonneville County Jail for felony possession of methamphetamine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
The charges arise from a traffic stop earlier that night, approximately 8:30 p.m., near the intersection of Pancheri Drive and Dickson Avenue. A deputy saw Williams and pulled him over, knowing he didn’t have a valid driver’s license. Although Williams informed the officer of his parole status as a convicted drug trafficker and claimed the van contained nothing unlawful, a K-9 unit came and alerted deputies to the presence of a prohibited substance.
According to a BCSO news release, deputies then searched the vehicle and discovered just over 17 grams of methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia in a secret compartment behind the seat.
Williams was subsequently arrested. His preliminary hearing has been scheduled for March 20, 2026.
