Former Probation Officer Arrested for Cocaine Possession

A former juvenile probation officer has been arrested after Jasper County deputies say they discovered pieces of a crack cocaine 'cookie' in his pockets following a traffic stop.

Richard Lynn Donald, 65, was arrested after investigators say they found pieces of a crack cocaine cookie in his shirt and pants pockets, according to Chief Deputy Ralph Nichols.

Nichols tells KFDM News investigators stopped Donald for a traffic violation Monday night in Evadale.

They found the crack cocaine during the stop.

Nichols says the cocaine is worth as much as $2,000.

Donald was a juvenile probation officer in Hardin County. He was fired in 2006 after about one year on the job, according to the director of that department, Monica Kelley, told KFDM News she couldn't get into details about Donald's termination.

Donald is behind bars at the Jasper County Jail on $15,000 bond.
