Speeding driver gets busted for cocaine
A Washington State Patrol trooper pulled over a car for doing 12 over the posted speed limit. Upon contacting the driver, the trooper noted the scent of marijuana inside the car and a plastic baggy with a white powder on the driver’s lap. The driver denied being impaired, but admitted to purchasing some marijuana prior to the stop. While stepping out to do some field sobriety tests, the small baggy from the driver’s lap fell to the ground. “I asked what that was. He just gave me a very defeated and guilty look. I asked him again and he told me that it was cocaine and he turned around and put his hands behind his back,” states the WSP report. “ I told him I was not going to put him into handcuffs yet until we completed the sobriety tests I had talked about.” Midway through the tests, the suspect chose not to continue. The trooper did not have enough evidence for a DUI arrest so instead the male was arrested for felony drug possession. The man told the trooper he was “very disappointed in himself since he just got his kids back,” states the report. A driver’s check revealed a long criminal history and that his license had been revoked in the first degree. The 33-year-old was booked into the county jail.
