EB jails five for spice, meth and crack

The East Brewton Police Department continues its crackdown on illegal narcotics with the arrest of five people on drug charges that include spice, methamphetamine and crack cocaine.

Police Chief Kenny Brazille said one of the department's goals is to rid the city of illegal drugs and said police will continue to crack down on the problem.

"We will continue the fight to keep drugs off our streets and out of our city," Brazille said.

Brazille also said citizens in the community who suspect illegal drug activity can call 867-4865 and leave an anonymous tip that will be followed up by a police officer. He also said by the end of the week, he hopes the police department's Facebook page will be launched, which will also allow citizens to give anonymous tips.
