The driver
explained that he had been smoking a “blunt” of marijuana while he was driving and a full “blunt” was contained
within a box of Swisher Sweets. I then escorted the driver to my patrol car where he was secured within the
prisoner compartment. Once seated, I asked for his identity at which time the driver identified himself as Mr.
Justin C. Blackmon with a date of birth of January 9th, 1990.
With Mr. Blackmon secured within my patrol car, I conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle with the
assistance of Officer Aaron London. In the front seat of the vehicle, I located an open water bottle placed in a cup
holder. Contained within the bottle were the remnants of the “blunt” Mr. Blackmon had admitted to smoking. In
the rear map pocket of the front passenger seat, I located the box of “Swisher Sweets” which contained a freshly
rolled “blunt”. Examining the “blunt,” I observed that it contained a green leafy substance which too had an odor
of marijuana. I seized the bottle with the smoked “blunt” as well as the box of “Swisher Sweets” and secured
them within the trunk of my car.
