Warren County Sheriff’s Office reports that shortly after midnight on June 6, 2012, Deputy Robert Mumaw stopped a vehicle on East Criser Road that was being operated in a reckless manner.  During the traffic stop and initial investigation, Warren County K-9 responded to search the vehicle.  Subsequently, the passenger identified as Kevin Ross Booth, age 21, of 409 East Criser Road, Front Royal was arrested for felony distribution of marijuana.  Approximately two pounds of marijuana was found in the vehicle. 

Booth was transported to the Warren County Jail where the magistrate released him on a $2,000 secured bond.

A Front Royal man is being held without bail in the Warren County Jail after his arrest early Thursday morning, June 7, 2012 by Warren County Sheriff’s Deputies. 

Cody Alan Clater, age 19, of 15 West 18^th Street, Front Royal has been charged with a felony warrant for possession of cocaine, and four misdemeanor warrants for possession of marijuana, public intoxication, underage possession of alcohol, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. 

Warren County Deputies had been searching for a reported female juvenile runaway who they had been told may be with Clater.  Deputies located the runaway at 603 Remount Road.  While doing a search of the property deputies noticed a white powdery substance in a parked vehicle, and found Clater hiding facedown under a van.  When the male exited from under the van a straw with white powder residue was dropped.  When questioned, Clater admitted to deputies that the white powder was cocaine.  Front Royal Police Department’s narcotic K-9 was called in for a search, resulting in a positive alert.  A small bag of green plant material was found in the vehicle along with an empty vodka bottle.

Clater is scheduled to appear in Warren County General District Court on June 12, 2012.
