On Saturday, Nov. 3, police were conducting a safety stop when a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt pulled up at 10:20 p.m. Officers detected an odor of fresh marijuana coming from the passenger compartment and told the vehicle to pull over to the side of the road. The driver and his passenger were told to exit the vehicle while the search was being conducted, and when police checked the names and birth dates the two men gave them with dispatch, they came back valid. Police found marijuana in the vehicle during the search and placed both men under arrest for possession.

After being place under arrest, the driver of the vehicle informed police officers that he originally provided a false name and birthdate

because his license was suspended. The ID the driver gave to police was actually his passenger’s information, and the information the passenger gave police was a friend’s. The passenger stated that when his friend falsely gave police his information, he did not want to get him in trouble so he just came up with a different name as well. During the booking process, the passenger of the vehicle was found with an additional Georgia identification card that did not belong to him, and it was confiscated. Both men were issued citations for giving false name and possession of marijuana under one ounce, and the driver was also issued a citation for driving with a suspended license.
