A deputy smelled the odor of pot inside the vehicle, which is when he instructed the driver to get out of his vehicle. He also spoke to the passenger, who also had an open bottle of vodka at her feet. She said that she was drinking but that the pot was not hers.
The deputy discovered the pot, drug paraphernalia, and two open containers of alcohol. The driver said that the pot was not his but a pipe was found on his seat. The man was arrested.
On the way to prison, the man’s charges increased as he was making threats against the deputy the whole way there. The other person in his vehicle was also arrested on various charges.
