A Pine Bluff man arrested in Redfield Monday on active warrants is now facing felony drug allegations.
Tyler Euseppi, 34, was taken into custody after Redfield Police Chief Steve McFatridge received a call about a white male riding a bicycle on River Road at about 10:35 a.m. who had warrants for his arrest.
Reading from an affidavit from Redfield Police Detective Teri Patterson, Deputy Prosecutor Karres Manning Center explained what happened next.
Patterson reported that when Euseppi was questioned, he said he used the pieces of tin foil to smoke methamphetamine, and he had the syringe if he wanted to inject the drug. He said the smoking pipe was his and he found the prescription pad while rummaging through a storage locker on Old Warren Road.
Manning Center said Euseppi has previous drug-related convictions in 2014 and 2020 and is on a suspended imposition of a sentence in one of them.
Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set a $5,000 bond for Euseppi after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge him with two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. He was told to come back to court April 11.
