BREMERTON – Weston Joseph Broussard, 44, of Port Orchard, was charged with possession of a controlled substance (heroin) and tampering with physical evidence. A Bremerton police officer stopped Broussard’s vehicle Aug. 9 and then watched Broussard allegedly try to swallow a baggie of methamphetamine. The officer told him to spit out the bag but Broussard refused. The officer attempted to handcuff Broussard but Broussard resisted and the officer told him he would be tased. Broussard, who did not want to be tased, relented but managed to swallow the bag.

“I advised Broussard that he was going to be taken to the hospital to have his stomach pumped, due to the fact that he had ingested methamphetamine,” the officer wrote in the report.

“Broussard told me at that time that he was ‘pretty high already’ and indicated that little bit he swallowed wouldn’t do anything to him.”

Police obtained a search warrant and found other drugs in Broussard’s vehicle.
