Two Arrested on Drug Charges

KILGORE — Two Longview men were arrested Thursday near the Kilgore College campus after police say they found them in possession of multiple controlled substances. That’s according to KETK and the Longview News-Journal. Timothy Cloninger and William L. Blair, both 20, were arrested about 3:30 a.m. in the 1100 block of Broadway Street, Kilgore College police said. The men share a Longview address, according to police reports. The college said neither was a student.

After stopping the two men after they departed a restaurant, an officer saw what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette inside their vehicle. Blair told him it was K2, an illegal form of synthetic marijuana, the report said. When the officer searched the vehicle, he found six types of prescription drugs in a backpack. Cloninger and Blair were each charged with six counts of possession of a dangerous drug and booked into the Gregg County Jail. Blair was being held under bonds totaling $12,000. Cloninger was being held under bonds totaling $30,000.
