A former Jefferson County Justice Court judge was arrested Friday in Claiborne County on a drug charge, said Claiborne County Sheriff Frank Davis.

Charlie Ralph Chambers, 59, 1995 Woodvine Road, Lorman, was arrested at 1:50 p.m. at his home by agents with the North Central Narcotics Task Force, said Jefferson County Sheriff Pete Walker. Jefferson and Claiborne are part of the eight-county task force.

Chambers was charged in Claiborne County with sale of a controlled substance following an undercover investigation, Davis said. He was being without bond in the Claiborne County Jail pending an initial hearing Monday.

Chambers was elected to the justice court spot in the late 1980s, Davis said.
