MOBILE, Alabama -- Two Mississippi men were arrested Tuesday after they were found with multiple drugs in a car passing through the George Wallace Tunnel while the driver was "double texting," and a 3-year-old sat in the backseat, according to the Mobile County Sheriff's Office.

Dandre Moore, 19, and Dartavious Moore, 22, were arrested by deputies Tuesday after a car driven by Dandre Moore was stopped while passing through the George Wallace Tunnel.

"He was double texting and driving with his knees," said Lori Myles, public information officer with MCSO.

Officials say Dandre Moore told deputies he had been "double texting," or driving while texting people on phones held in each hand, since he was 15 years old.

Dandre Moore allowed officials, including deputies, Alabama State Troopers and officers with the Spanish Fort Police Department, to search his car. Inside they found a bottle of prescription oxycodone pills which had been filled on March 26 with 720 pills.

It was down to 386 when authorities found it, Myles said.

Nearly $5,000 was found in the car's glove compartment. An unlabeled pill bottle had "several Xanax" inside. Dartavious Moore, who was in the front passenger seat, had an ounce of marijuana hidden in his underwear, according to Myles.

Two women and a 3-year-old were sitting in the car's backseat. The women and the child were released while Dandre Moore and Dartavious Moore were arrested, officials said.

Dandre Moore was charged with illegal possession of the prescription drug Xanax and possession of a controlled substance. Dartavious Moore was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance.

Booking records show Dartavious Moore and Dandre Moore, who live in Philadelphia, Miss., have no known prior arrests in Mobile County.

Dandre Moore was released on bail late Tuesday night. Dartavious Moore remains in Mobile County Metro Jail as of 7:30 p.m. today.
