CENTER POINT — A Center Point man was arrested Thursday for drug trafficking, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
Eric Michael Simonson, 43, was arrested for allegedly trafficking methamphetamine. It is his second arrest for the same offense in two months.
On December 7, investigators from the Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit executed a drug search warrant at a residence in the 2200 block of Second Terrace NW in Center Point. This search warrant is part of an ongoing investigation into the trafficking of illegal drugs in northeast Jefferson County.
Deputies seized over 135 grams of methamphetamine, a handgun, scales, and marijuana. The street value of the drugs is approximately $11,000.
Simonson was home at the time the warrant was executed and was arrested for trafficking methamphetamine.
At the time of this arrest, Simonson was out of jail on bond for a previous arrest on Oct. 1, for trafficking methamphetamine.
Simonson remains in the Jefferson County Jail with no bond.

I’m sure Doug Jones would classify him as a non-violent drug offender; a victim of the system, and would offer him cookies and an apology in lieu of jail time.
Mary Julia Skelton
And I am sure Roy Moore would put him in the drug offender programs with his own son who has been arrested 9 times and never served a day. See how gratuitous remarks work?
Josh Burgans
Mary Julia Skelton I am sure Roy Moore was the one who issued the sentencing for his son…
