Upon inspection, police discovered methamphetamine in a backpack and found that Brown's license had been suspended 42 times. The suspensions are from Brown failing to appear in court for 42 tickets issued over 12 previous occasions.
Brown now faces several charges, including first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, a class E felony, seventh-degree possession of a controlled substance, and driving without an interlock device. He is scheduled to appear in Rome City Court.
