‘I wanna man up’

UAPD assisted a Tucson Police Department officer direct traffic at the intersection of Third Avenue and Speedway Boulevard on Friday at 11:31 p.m.

The TPD officer stopped a car with three men inside because he could smell marijuana coming from inside the car.

While the UAPD officer was waiting with the men, one of them asked what would happen next.

The officer told him that if any marijuana was found, then all three would be charged with possession unless one occupant claimed the marijuana.

The passenger of the car said, “I wanna man up” and got out of the car, took a plastic bag full of marijuana out of his pocket and set it on the curb.

The passenger was charged with possession of marijuana, and the bag was placed into TPD property as evidence.
