Police: Man Found Passed Out In Vehicle At Railroad Tracks Facing Drug Charges
August 9, 2021
A Century man is facing drug charges in Alabama after officers allegedly found him passed out in his vehicle at a railroad crossing.
Early Saturday morning, the Flomaton Police Department responded to the area of a railroad crossing on Old Fannie Road, just north of the Florida/Alabama state line. According to police, the driver was unconscious with his foot on the brake, but the vehicle was not in park.
After multiple attempts, the Flomaton officer was able to wake the driver.
Brandon William Qualls, 30, admitted to smoking synthetic cannabinoids, also known as spice, and was found to be in possession of the drug, according to police.
“This incident could have ended terribly both for the public and the defendant, fortunately no one was injured or harmed,” Flomaton Police said in a statement.
Qualls was charged with possession of a controlled substance (spice-synthetic cannabinoid), driving under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with a revoked license, operating a vehicle without insurance and switching a tag.
Qualls was booked into the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton without bond.

So this dude has no DL, bc they have been revoked. And he is gonna get in a vehicle with no insurance after he puts a tag on it from a different vehicle, get his drugs and drive on a public road while smoking his drugs… He was tryna go to jail!! So he needs to sit in there a while!!
@Bewilderdered,
It’s kind of like not being vaccinated. Putting other people at risk and possibly ruining other peoples lives.
Chris and Paul, got my 2nd and 3rd laugh/smile for the day. Keeping the mode upbeat and funny. Seriously, Txs
Never mind his sorry behind! Another one who should never be allowed to drive again . No insurance, no license – but feels entitled to endanger or possibly ruin other people’s lives
Thank you Police for saving his life,,,hopefully this will be a wake up call…
Let this be a wake up call (no pun intended) for this young man.
“synthetic cannabinoids” I hate that word, it should be called what it really is Poison.
It’s kinda like calling a strip club a gentlemen’s club.
about the only thing he did right that day was wake up that morning.
