Arkansas State Police arrested a Little Rock man and charged him with possessing methamphetamine on Sunday night, just before he was scheduled to be arraigned on four other drug-related charges.
Markaus Walker, 27, was driving a vehicle that had been reported stolen to Conway County, according to an arrest report. Although the status of the vehicle could not be determined -- the arrest report notes that Walker is one of two registered owners -- Walker was searched and an officer discovered a small bag containing approximately 9 grams of meth.
Walker was arrested around midnight on Sunday near Scott Hamilton Drive and Baseline Road in Little Rock, the report states, and was charged with one count of possession of a Schedule I or II controlled dangerous substance. He was taken to the Pulaski County jail. Walker did not appear on a roster of jail inmates as of Monday evening.
Today, Walker is scheduled to be arraigned in Pulaski County Circuit Court in a separate case that dates back to September. In that matter, he has been charged with four other offenses: possession of meth or cocaine with the purpose to deliver; felony possession of a firearm by certain persons; possession of drug paraphernalia to manufacture meth or cocaine; and possession of a controlled substance while in possession of a firearm.
