Inside the vehicle, a syringe commonly used to inject meth was in plain view of the Deputy. A subsequent search revealed two clear, small Ziplock-style baggies containing a crystal substance believed to be contraband.
Harrington’s vehicle was impounded, and he was taken to the Henderson County Jail where he faces charges for possession of the controlled substance and driving without a license.
