According to police reports, Deputy Brumfield was on a traffic stop at Speedway in Huff Creek when Randall Bobbitt allegedly pulled in driving a blue Jeep.
"I knew his license was revoked because I was with Sgt. Ray Bryant when he arrested him for DUI," the report states. "So I went over to Randall and asked him for his license and he said he didn't have any that they were (sic) suspended, and the tags didn't go on the jeep, and he had no insurance on it. So I ran a 10-27 on it and it came back suspended... After searching the jeep, I found some syringes and methadone and some baggies."
He was booked at the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden at 11:50 p.m.
