A man with 109 prior charges in Massachusetts is facing charges once again; this time a charge of felony drug possession.

Yarmouth police pulled over a rented white KIA for a moving violation Tuesday. Police said the passenger, Wykeem Lloyd Price, was known to officers and has an extensive criminal history, with many firearm and drug charges.

Police said both the driver and Price were acting suspiciously, so a Yarmouth police drug enforcement officer and his K-9 came to the scene. Police said the K-9 indicated Price had drugs in his buttocks.

At the police station, police said officers found four small bags of heroin, eight small bags of crack cocaine and one prescription pill.

Price is facing three charges of felony possession to distribute drugs for class A, B and E drugs. All are subsequent offenses, meaning Price has been convicted of the offenses before and may face stiffer penalties for the new charges.
