ANGOLA — A 42-year-old Angola man was charged with two felony counts Monday after police allegedly discovered methamphetamine during a search of his vehicle early Saturday morning.
Michael David Robbins was charged with Class B felony possession of methamphetamine, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years in jail, and Class D felony theft, which carries a maximum three-year sentence. He was being held at the Steuben County Jail pending a $60,000 bail. Robbins was also charged with four misdemeanor counts of purchasing of ephedrine or pseuoephephedrine, a precursor to methamphetamine production.
A probable cause affidavit filed by a Hamilton Deputy Marshal stated that while on patrol on the 7500 block of Homestead Drive, he noticed a truck allegedly parked near a dumpster at a business. Patterson allegedly saw a man, later identified as Robbins, loading scrap metal into the truck. When questioned, Robbins allegedly said he had been told by a friend from Sturgis, Mich., that it was OK for him to take some of the scrap. A manager at the business told police no one, that he knew of, was authorized to pick up the scrap.
During an inventory of Robbin’s vehicle, Patterson allegedly discovered a number of items, including packages of watch batteries and a number of loose AA and AAA batteries, along with drug paraphernalia. Upon later inspection, officers allegedly discovered a number of baggies which contained a white powder which tested positive for methamphetamine.
When asked about the substance found in the baggies, Robbins allegedly said, “I don’t know anything about it.” When asked why he’d come so late to pick up the metal, Robbins allegedly told officers he didn’t want to bother anyone.
A number of other items from Robbins’ truck were seized in connection with unrelated cases, court documents said.
