A real stinker

7:52 p.m. Mahogany Boulevard at Sugar Bush Street

Possession of hashish, possession of 20 or more grams of marijuana. A deputy stopped a car for speeding. When the deputy approached the car, it smelled of marijuana.

The deputy told the 25-year-old driver and his passenger that he could smell the weed.

The driver said he'd smoked pot in the car about 40 minutes before.

The deputy asked him if there was any marijuana in the car, and the driver handed the deputy a plastic grocery bag and said that was all he had.

The deputy searched the car and found about 38 more grams of marijuana, plus a hash pen with a THC cartridge. The deputy arrested the driver.

'What was what?'

3:19 a.m. 100 block of Cypress Pointe Parkway

Cocaine possession. A deputy was standing outside his patrol car when he noticed an SUV drive by with its horn "honking in a steady pattern," according to the deputy's report.

"There did not appear to be any cause or reason for the vehicle's horn to be utilized," the deputy wrote in the report.

The deputy, concerned that the driver may be having a medical episode, stopped the car.

The driver of the car opened the door to step out, and, as he did so, chucked a clear plastic baggy through the car's sunroof. It landed beside the car.

"What was that?" the deputy asked. "What was what?" the man replied. The deputy asked the man again. "That was crack, man," the man replied. 

The deputy found the baggy, which did indeed field test positive for cocaine. 

The deputy asked the man why he'd been honking his horn. 

"I was a feeling myself," the man replied. 

"From past experiences, I interpreted this to mean that he was in a good and celebratory mood," the deputy wrote in the report. The deputy arrested the man.
