Pound of marijuana seized from vehicle in Hughesville

After stopping Dustin Myers’ 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix for a burned out license plate light on East Water Street in Hughesville about 12:10 a.m. on Jan. 30, the state trooper detected “a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle,” according to an affidavit. After initially denying that he had marijuana in the car, Myers, 26, of 280 Loophill Road, Hughesville, admitted that there was some in the vehicle, the affidavit stated. This admission came after the trooper spotted suspected marijuana in a slightly-opened safe on the rear passenger seat, police said. “Not going to lie to you sir, that’s all I got on me,” Myers said as he consented to allowing the trooper to search the vehicle. The trooper seized an estimated one pound of marijuana, the court document stated. Arraigned before Solomon on charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, Myers was initially jailed, but has since been released on $25,000 bail after waiving his preliminary hearing last week.

Starting at $2.99/week.
