June 3, 2016
A traffic stop by the Flomaton Police Department for speeding led to the discovery of a cache of drugs and over $18K in cash Thursday.
The Flomaton Police Department said Officer Kelley was working on the Click It or Ticket campaign when he stopped a 2012 BMW SUV that was traveling 73 mph in a 45 mph zone.
Upon approaching the vehicle, Kelley detected an odor of marijuana coming from inside of the vehicle. He reported finding a a loaded 357 magnum revolver by the driver. The handgun was later determined to be stolen. Officers recovered over two ounces of high grade marijuana, 10 different kinds of controlled substance pills, and $18,030.
Adam Amarir, 45, of Birmingham was charged with four counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and receiving stolen property.
Amarir was booked into the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center in Brewton.

Ok, thanx 4 the gun info.
Appears to be a S/W 340PD revolver.
That’s a S&W airweight 357 with titanium cylinder, about $900 new…
@curious I noticed the euro money. I couldn’t figure out if it was for/from customers or if he was a flight risk lol
Did anyone else notice the “Euro” money?
Good job Officer Kelly, the vehicle should be sold and all proceeds go to the Flomaton PD.
>>A mugshot means eyes open, I’m surprised this was let to pass.
This was not his official jail mugshot
Hmm…Amarir, what is that, Middle Eastern? That little gun fires .357s!?! Wow! I don’t recognize the brand symbol of the little space-looking emblem, what is that?
A mugshot means eyes open, I’m surprised this was let to pass. There will probably be someone getting a talking to over that. All that on him & he was speeding & wrecklessly driving. Arrogance.
Does anybody know if this was on 113 about 9am Thursday?
You’d think if he had that much on him he’d at least drive the speed limit but then again he’s dealing drugs so speeding and smoking marijuana isn’t so far fetched.
Good job Officer Kelly!
