Feb. 26—Huntsville Police have arrested an alleged drug dealer, seizing a backpack with narcotics that they say were packaged to be sold.

Anthony Parker, 21, of Onalaska, has been charged with four separate counts for manufacturing or delivering a controlled substance, following a common traffic stop.

Police say that the suspect failed to activate his headlights while traveling down 11th Street in Huntsville at 2:30 a.m. The arresting officer noted a strong smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle and witnessed an open container in the front of the vehicle. Upon a search, officers recovered 11 THC cartridge packs, and multiple bags of xanax, adderall, oxycontin and marijuana.

"This appears to be a pretty big dealer, so it's really good to get that amount of drugs off of the street," HPD spokesperson Lt. Jim Barnes said.

Parker is being held at the Walker County Jail on $106,000 in bonds.

The new statue would replace the one depicting a Union Army soldier who helped carry out the Sand Creek Massacre of 230 Cheyenne and Arapaho people in 1864, one of the worst mass murders in U.S. history. The proposed new bronze statue would depict a young woman sitting on a white flag, wearing a native Cheyenne dress, with her left arm extended.

    DUBAI (Reuters) - "No smoking gun," pro-government Saudi commentators concluded in response to a U.S. intelligence assessment that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had approved the operation to capture or kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi. A few minutes after the report was released, many Saudis flooded Twitter with the hashtag saying, "We are all Mohammed bin Salman."
