A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

There are a few essential rules to remember when flying: buy your snacks before getting to the airport, always book a window seat and remember to pack your toiletries in 3.4 ounce bottles. Despite that last one being law for almost 20 years, people still forget and the Transportation Security Administration confiscates millions of dollars worth of liquids every day. Now, one U.S. airport is looking to save confiscated liquids from the trash heap.

What happens to all those toiletries the TSA confiscates at the airport?
