Alex White is being held on $61,000 bond at the Douglas County Jail on sale and possession of methamphetamines with intent to distribute charges, marijuana possession and gun possession charges and use of communication facility in commission of a felony involving controlled substances, according to Channel 2.
The two-year Douglas County firefighter was suspended without pay, authorities said.
