Dyersburg Police suspected Wells was driving while intoxicated and stopped him June 21 on Broadway Avenue. Police found a large bag of marijuana tucked into the crotch of a passenger's pants. Wells, who initially identified himself as Billy Doyle Wells, was arrested on the drug charge due to the drugs being transported in his vehicle. The passenger told police the marijuana belonged to Wells and that Wells told him to hide the drugs because the officers wouldn't search a passenger.
