BUCKHANNON — An Upshur County man was arrested after officers allegedly found drugs during a traffic stop.

Terry Beeson, 62, has been charged with felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, methamphetamine, and felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, marijuana. He is being held in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on a $50,000 bond.

According to the criminal complaint, Upshur County Sheriff’s Department deputies saw a white Ford Escape with an expired registration near the Zickefoose Trailer Court.

Officers reportedly found a needle containing methamphetamine, a glass pipe with white residue, a small digital scale, a small bag of marijuana, burnt foil, a container of “dabs,” plastic bags, 1.2 ounces of methamphetamine and $161 in cash.
