ASSISTANT DA COULD FACE MORE CHARGES FOR DRUG POSSESSION

An East Texas assistant district attorney out on bond could face additional charges after more than two pounds of prescription drugs were found in his car.

Michael Hamilton Rodgers, 53, posted bond Wednesday after being arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Rodgers had been employed with the DA's office since July 1 and was still within his probationary period, said Van Zandt County District Attorney Leslie Poynter Dixon.  He has been fired from his job, the Tyler Morning Telegraph reported in its Thursday editions.
