WHILE ADVISING THE DEFENDANT FOR THE REASON FOR THE STOP, I LOOKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED A CLEAR SANDWICH BAG SITTING ON THE DRIVERâS SEAT CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE, WHICH IS KNOWN TO ME AS CANNABIS. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHAT THAT WAS ON HIS SEAT, TO WHICH HE STATED IT WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF WEED. AT THAT TIME, I RETRIEVED THE NARCOTICS FROM the FRONT SEAT of the VEHICLE AND ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA, UNDER 20 GRAMS.
