A probation check resulted in a Charleston man arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to a report filed by Bradley County Drug Enforcement Unit detectives, they were contacted by the Tennessee Board of Probation and Parole in reference to Brandon Lee Toops possibly having a weapon and narcotics in his possession.
The detectives went to the address where Toops resided.
Detectives then advised Toops they were there to search the residence, under conditions based on the probation order Toops had signed with the state when he was reportedly placed on probation.
