THE DRIVER WAS ARRESTED FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI) AND HAD GIVEN CONSENT, PRIOR TO HIS ARREST, TO SEARCH THE VEHICLE IF NEEDED. DURING THE INITIAL PART OF THE TRAFFIC STOP, THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER WAS VISIBLY NERVOUS. HIS BREATHING WAS HEAVY AND HE WAS FIDGETING WITH HIS FINGERS. AFTER THE DRIVER HAD BEEN ARRESTED, ALL OF THE PASSENGERS WERE ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY ITEMS IN THE VEHICLE THAT THIS DEPUTY SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. ALL PASSENGERS STATED NO. EACH PASSENGER WAS BROUGHT OUT ONE BY ONE, beginning WITH THE DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR JOHN JAY ELLISON. PRIOR TO BEING SEARCHED, HE WAS GIVEN ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO COME FORTH WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT HE MIGHT BE HIDING SOMETHING. WHEN HE WAS ASKED TO EMPTY HIS POCKETS, HE STATED THAT HE HAD A KNIFE IN HIS POCKET ALONG WITH A MARIJUANA PIPE AND A BAG OF MARIJUANA. THESE ITEMS WERE IN HIS RIGHT FRONT PANTS/SHORTS POCKET.
