The Rome Floyd Metro Drug Task Force arrested Tineka Nicole Foster, 30, and Devonier Marques Bowers, 35, both of Rome, during a search of a home on Betty Kay Avenue.[1]
Police said officers found marijuana, mushrooms and multiple digital scales that contained drug residue inside the home.[1] Officers also said they found Bowers flushing the marijuana down the toilet during the search.[1] The reported items at the residence thus comprised marijuana, mushrooms and digital scales bearing drug residue, rather than cannabis alone.[1]
Both Foster and Bowers were charged with possession of marijuana, possession of a Schedule I controlled substance, and possession and use of drug-related objects.[1] The three shared charges covered cannabis possession, another controlled-substance possession allegation and possession and use of drug-related objects.[1] Bowers was additionally charged with tampering with evidence and contempt of court.[1] These extra charges applied only to Bowers, while Foster and Bowers both faced the three shared drug-related charges.[1]
