Four men were arrested Monday at a hotel on various drug charges.

The four men had more than six grams — $1,240 worth — of crack cocaine and more than $500 cash, along with a large amount of pharmaceuticals, said Cliff Cox, commander of the Natchez-Adams County Metro Narcotics Unit.

The men had a room at a Seargent S. Prentiss Drive hotel, Cox said.

“We had an anonymous complaint and investigated,” Cox said.

“They had more than a two-liter bottle of promethazine mixed with codeine — many, many felony amounts.”

The two pharmaceuticals are often used in conjunction with marijuana, Cox said.
