While performing routine patrol duties last night, Officer Hopkins observed a Nissan Altima driving east on Greenwood Road with its hazard flashers on. Officer Hopkins conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and made contact with the driver and the passenger. During the initial encounter with these occupants, the driver admitted he had a suspended license, and numerous proxemic behaviors were observed.

 

Because of these proxemic behaviors, consent was obtained to search the vehicle. While the female passenger was exiting the vehicle, she handed Sergeant Faris a pack of cigarettes to be checked for contraband that was being used to conceal a plastic baggie containing methamphetamines.

 

The female passenger was detained and placed in the rear prisoner compartment of Officer Hopkins’ patrol unit. While in the prisoner compartment, the female passenger attempted to dispose of more methamphetamines and a bag of marijuana she was concealing in her undergarments. When she was confronted with this, the female passenger produced a small metal pill container that she was hiding buprenorphine and clonazepam in.

 

The female was booked into Caddo Correctional Center for Possession of Schedule I (Marijuana), Possession of Schedule II (Methamphetamine), Possession of Schedule III (Buprenorphine), Possession of Schedule IV (Clonazepam), Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Obstruction of Justice. The driver was cited and released.
