Men Plan Drug Sale to Finance Road Trip

Posted: Updated:

COOKEVILLE, Tenn.- A road trip to California was stopped short in Cookeville when police realized how the two friends planned on paying for it.

Douglas Andrews and Mark McNeil were pulled over by the Tennessee Highway Patrol for speeding.

That's when the officer found several empty bags, an electronic scale and white powder.

The men allegedly purchased Percocet and then planned to resell it to try and make enough money to make it to California. They are both being held in Putnam County on possession charges.
