from the daily nexus police blotter 2/12/07:
Not a Drug Dealer - A Service Provider, Please.
Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2:05 p.m. - An officer pulled over a vehicle with expired registration tags on the 6700 block of El Colegio Road and contacted the driver, immediately detecting the strong smell of marijuana.
After the deputy repeatedly asked the 32-year-old man if there was any pot present in the car, the man told him, “Well, I don’t know if there is any marijuana in the vehicle” before pulling an ounce of weed from his backpack.
As he pulled out the herb, a bag containing a white substance and some pills fell onto the floor, and the officer heard the man say, “Oh, I’m in trouble.”
As the officer arrested the man, he asked him to confirm what the white substance was and the man explained, “It is cocaine, but it is just a little bit for personal use.”
When the deputy asked the subject if he was selling the large quantity of marijuana, the man vehemently denied such activity, saying, “No! I share it with my friends.”
Despite the man’s generous nature, the officer decided that transporting and possessing cocaine and marijuana was too illegal to overlook, and arrested him.
