Dealing drugs? Don’t speed.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was near First Street and Campbell Avenue when he saw a gold Nissan Maxima moving 55 mph in a 35 mph zone.

When the officer pulled the car over, the driver told the officer that he did not have a license and had never had one in any state. He was identified by an Arizona Identification Card.

The officer asked why he was driving without a license and the man said he was picking up some friends. There was a woman in the passenger seat and one in the backseat.

The officer told the man he was going to impound the car and asked everyone to get out so he could check the car.

In the front passenger seat the officer found a black Adidas pouch with folded plastic baggies and a small metal hanging scale.

Also inside the pouch was a plastic baggie with marijuana and a blue aluminum smoking pipe with burnt residue on it.

The man was read his rights and initially told the officer the pouch was a friend’s, but then said it was his and he knew marijuana was inside.

When the officer asked if he had been selling drugs the man said he had and the last time he sold was to a coworker on March 6.

The officer then requested a recorder so the confession could be taped.

The man said on the tape that he had only been selling marijuana for about a week to make some extra money. Within the week, the man said he earned $100.

While the man was being handcuffed, another plastic bag with marijuana in it was found in his front pocket. The marijuana weighed 3.4 grams. The man said the marijuana in his pocket was for his own personal use and he did not intend to sell it.

The man was taken to Pima County Jail and booked on charges of possession for sale — a class four felony — and possession of drug paraphernalia — a class six felony. The recorded interview, the marijuana and the contents of the Adidas pouch were entered into UAPD property as evidence.
