On March 3^rd at approximately 4:52 p.m. a Deputy with the Uniform Patrol Division of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office was conducting proactive patrol in the Malone area when he observed a white Jeep fail to stop at a stop sign. A traffic stop was conducted, which resulted in the driver taking an unusually long time to pull to the shoulder and come to a stop.

A free air sniff of the vehicle was conducted using K-9 “Rocky.” The K-9 indicated a positive alert for the odor of narcotics within the vehicle. A probable cause search of the vehicle was conducted. A hamburger was located in the center console of the vehicle, which had a plastic baggie concealed inside.

The baggie contained .4 grams of a white powdery substance that later tested positive for cocaine. Also hidden in the sandwich was 1.1 grams of suspected MDPV, (Bath Salts), and less than 1 gram of marijuana. The MDPV also indicated a positive test result as such. The driver of the vehicle, Glen Lewis Williams, claimed ownership of the hamburger, but not the narcotics inside.

The investigation led officers to believe that the passenger, Arthur Smith, placed the narcotics in the hamburger as the officer was affecting the traffic stop, which would account for the lengthy amount of time that it took them to pull over. The two were booked into the Jackson County Correctional Facility to await first appearance.
