INCIDENT/ INFORMATION:
On Thursday November 17, 2011 at approximately 1500 hours Officer Clark noticed a vehicle driving very slowly through the area. Officer Clark pulled in behind the vehicle which quickly did a u-turn. When Officer Clark did a turn to continue following the vehicle, it quickly pulled to the shoulder and parked. Officer Clark continued driving and waited for the vehicle to pull out again. Once the vehicle was moving Officer Clark began to follow it once again. The vehicle quickly pulled over to the opposite side of the road and parked. The driver immediately exited and began to walk away from the vehicle. Officer Clark got out and contacted the driver, later identified as Smith, Taylor John (W/M/10-28-1993) right after he exited the vehicle. The windows of the vehicle were down and an odor of burnt marijuana was emanating from the vehicle. Off Clark called for a police K9 to conduct a sniff on the vehicle. The police K9 alerted to the presence of controlled dangerous substances in the vehicle. A search of the vehicle yielded a small quantity of marijuana in the driver side door. Smith was placed under arrest and transported to central booking, where he was later released after a hearing with a district court commissioner.
