2/17/19 – “Man I ain’t gonna have insurance after this.”
Police initiated a traffic stop southbound on I 271 and Route 8 split for a speeding violation. While sitting stationary, the police officer observed the vehicle traveling 86 mph in a posted 65 mph zone. After the driver showed the officer proof of insurance he stated: “Man I ain’t gonna have insurance after this.” The officer noticed a strong odor of marijuana and noticed in the cup holder a marijuana shake. The driver was asked to exit the vehicle.
As they were walking to the rear of the vehicle, the officer asked the suspect if there was anything else inside of the vehicle before we searched it to which he stated no. The officer asked him to quit reaching for his pocket as he was going to search his person. The suspect responded by saying, “I thought you were searching the car, why ya’ll searching me?”
Located in the suspect’s right jacket pocket was a clear plastic bag containing a rock-like substance. The suspect stated the substance was powder and he was about to snort some. The suspect later admitted the substance was cocaine. Total weight was 15 grams. Due to it being more than 10 grams but less than 20 grams, the charge is enhanced to a Felony of the third degree. The suspect was charged for speed (MM) and possession of marijuana (MM) and possession of a controlled substance (F-3).
