SCOTTSBORO, Ala. (WHNT) – A 66-year-old Scottsboro man is behind bars after police executed a drug bust on Tuesday that uncovered a variety of illegal substances and a firearm.

Upon executing the search warrant, police discovered:
Marijuana
Suboxone
Drug paraphernalia
A firearm
5.97 grams of a methamphetamine/fentanyl mixture
Scottsboro Police Chief Greg Godfrey issued a stern warning:
“Let this serve as a warning to anyone engaging in illegal drug activity: you will be found, you will be arrested, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Kennamer is currently being held at the Jackson County Jail. The investigation remains ongoing.
