A Cedartown man remained in the Polk County Jail on drug and firearm charges after he was found with a handgun and shotgun, along with marijuana in his vehicle during a traffic stop, according to Polk County Police reports.

Frank Edward Head, 34, of 117 Cason Road, Cedartown, was jailed on multiple charges after he was pulled over with a passenger in the car for a broken headlight at 1:16 a.m. on Sunday, September 26, 2021.

Police reported that when they got to the window of the car, the heavy smell of marijuana came from the car and officers went back to process Head’s information and asked for other officers to come to the scene for backup to search the car while stopped at South Cave Spring Street and Canal Street in Cedartown.

Officers arrived and searched the car and found the marijuana that Head admitted was in a bag in a safe, which weighed out to be nearly four ounces. Police also found three THC cartridges, a glass jar with suspected THC wax inside a back passenger seat pocket, a baggy of marijuana in the floorboard, and a Ruger EC9 9mm handgun found in the glovebox, and a Akkar Churchill G12 shotgun in the back seat.

Head claimed all of the items as his and was taken to jail without further incident. The woman in the car was let go and allowed to leave with the car without being charged, per police reports.

He was booked and charged with two felony counts of purchase, possession, manufacture, distribution or sale of marijuana, four counts of possession of a Schedule I Controlled Substance, and possession of firearm or knife during the commission of or attempt to commit certain felonies, and misdemeanors for headlight requirements and two counts of possession and use of drug-related objects.

He remained booked in the Polk County Jail as of this posting on an $11,500 bond.
