A u-turns just before a road check makes it pretty obvious the driver does not want to be checked.  And typically that is the reason a road check is set up.

Saturday evening, Georgia State Patrol and Decatur County Deputies had a road check set up on Highway 309 south.  About midnight on Saturday, a car made a u-turn back towards Bainbridge.  Troopers Walt Landrum and JF Jackson and Sheriff's Deputies went after him.

Trooper Landrum caught up with them on West Street at Love Street.  Just before they stopped, he spotted something thrown out the window of the car and noted where it landed.  Trooper Landrum found several open bottles of liquor and marijuana in the vehicle.  Deputy Simmons found the small package of marijuana thrown from the moving vehicle.

The driver, Felton Lanell Millner, 34, of Belle Glade was charged with DUI, possession of marijuana and improper u-turn.  The passenger, Kevin Lee Wilson, 32, of Orlando was charged with possession of marijuana.
