A Douglas County firefighter was arrested last week and accused of meth possession and distribution, according to Channel 2 Action News.
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.
Douglas County spokesman Wes Tallon said White was ordered by the court to surrender his emergency medical technician credentials to the fire department and will not be able to perform EMT duties while the case is under investigation.
Tallon reiterated that the 23-year-old White is a first-time offender "is innocent until proven guilty."
