A Jefferson County man was arrested Thursday on drug-related charges after a search warrant was served at his residence.

Derrick Wooldridge, 24, was taken into custody after sheriff’s deputies and Tri-County Drug Task Force agents served the warrant at 2815 Skoll Road.

Deputy Prosecutor Mircha King said Wooldridge was the target of an investigation into the delivery of marijuana.

Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set a $15,000 bond for Woolridge after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge him with possession of marijuana with purpose to deliver, possession of a Schedule II controlled substance with purpose to deliver, and possession of a Schedule IV controlled substance with purpose to deliver.

Wooldridge said he would hire his own attorney.
