Cookeville Man Identified With Fifty Grams of Meth

A Cookeville man faces multiple drug charges after possessing approximately 54 grams of methamphetamine Friday.

Officials arrested 35-year-old Steven Ray Flanigan for methamphetamine and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

Authorities dispatched to a house on Dale Ln in regards to a stranger sleeping in a truck in the resident’s driveway.

Upon arrival, officials found Flanigan. Flanigan claimed he could not remember his name and lost his license and keys.

Authorities looked into the cabin of the vehicle and saw a glass pipe in the center console. A search of the vehicle revealed a Crown Royal bag which contained 54.1 grams of a white crystalline substance that appeared to be methamphetamine.

The bag also contained several baggies and a set of digital scales.

Officials booked Flanigan into the Putnam County Jail on a $16,000 bond. Flanigan has since posted bail.

Flanigan also faced a charge of methamphetamine in August 2018.
