George Bryson was caught driving a car with an expired registration on Main Street around 8:47 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22, Police Chief David Clark reports. The car was also not registered under Bryson's name.
A search of Bryson's license revealed it had expired and that he was wanted on a drug charge out of the Rockingham Sheriff’s Office in New Hampshire, Clark reports. Bryson was taken into custody as a result.
A subsequent search of the car Bryson was driving uncovered several illegal prescription drugs including crack cocaine, Xanax, Venlafaxine, Alprazolam, Oxycodone and Buprenorphine.
Police also seized multiple boxes of sandwich bags and a metal spoon with residue, burnt tin foil, and straws. All items are consistent with the use of narcotics, Clark said.
Bryson was charged with the following:
- Unregistered Motor Vehicle
- Operation of a Motor Vehicle Without a License
- Possession of a Class A Substance (Oxycodone)
- Possession of a Class B substance (3 counts – Buprenorphine and Naloxone, Crack Cocaine and Adderall)

- Possession of a Class C Substance (Psilocybin Mushrooms)
- Possession of a Class E Substance (Two Counts – Testosterone Cypionate and Venlafaxine Hydrochloride)
- Possession of Fireworks
