GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jordan Tyess McFadden, 31, was arrested last night on his birthday and charged with possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and trafficking quantities of MDMA, also known as molly. McFadden is on probation for a third conviction for driving without a valid license.
A Gainesville Police Department officer reportedly saw McFadden walking through the parking lot of the gas station at 1000 W. University Avenue and saw a marijuana “blunt” tucked behind his ear. The officer detained McFadden.
A search incident to arrest reportedly produced $2,512 in cash, which, as the officer noted, is consistent with street-level narcotics sales. The officer also reportedly found 4.6 grams of marijuana and 24.2 grams of pills that tested positive for MDMA.

Post Miranda, McFadden reportedly said the pills were for his personal use.
McFadden has two felony convictions, both for habitual driving without a valid license, and three misdemeanor convictions (none violent). He is currently on probation. Judge Walter Green set bail at $17,000 for the two drug charges plus a charge of violating probation.
