Men Arrested on Drug Charges

The arrests of two Wilkes men last weekend started normally enough. Two deputies on their way to look for a couple of people wanted for a crime happened across the men driving on a rural road. The deputies stopped 27-year old Michael Yourgevidge and 29-year old John McCrimmon. When one of the deputies ran Yourgevidge's driver's license, he found it had been revoked. Then things started down hill. A search of Yourgevidge turned up three pills of Percocet in his pocket, without an associated prescription bottle. And he was wanted for questioning in connection with a recent burglary.



The deputy cuffed Yourgevidge and searched McCrimmon, who also was found to be carrying drugs. He had a baggie of marijuana, a packet of rolling papers, and seven Percocet pills. He was arrested and charged with multiple drug crimes, while Yourgevidge faces a drug charge along with one of driving on a revoked license.
