‘Roach’ in ashtray

A UAPD officer pulled over a car with both headlights out Sunday at 8:28 p.m. on Sixth Street.

The officer pulled the car over at Sixth Street and Campbell Avenue in the Sam Hughes parking lot. The officer could immediately smell burning marijuana coming from the car.

The man was identified by his Arizona driver’s licenses and sat on the curb as the officer searched the car.

The officer found a small piece of the end of a joint in the center console ashtray. There were also two rolling papers in the console.

The man told the officer there was a “roach” in the ashtray shortly after the officer found the piece of the joint.

The man was criminally charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was cited and then driven to his brother’s house.

The man’s car was left in the parking lot and the joint and rolling papers were entered into property as evidence. The marijuana was submitted for testing.
