POT FINDERS KEEPERS
2200 block of 27th Street East, Bradenton
Found property: After running a tag, a Sheriff's Office deputy conducted a traffic stop because the tag had come back expired in 2008. It was discovered the tag numbers had been reported the wrong way, so the driver had his licensed return and told he was free to go. When returning the license, the deputy smelled the oder of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The driver said someone had smoked marijuana recently inside the car, but said no marijuana was inside the car at the time. Another deputy arrived on the scene and approached the passenger side door, and observed the passenger throwing a plastic sandwich bag out the window, which was found to contain marijuana. The passenger was asked to exit the vehicle, which was searched. Nothing was found in the vehicle or on either occupant. The marijuana weighted 3 grams, was collected and submitted into property and evidence for destruction.
