Several weeks ago, a Bainbridge Public Safety officer made a traffic stop on Tallahassee Highway. Smelling marijuana and having his suspicions aroused by interacting with the car’s occupants, the officer proceeded to search the vehicle. This search led to the seizure of five pounds of methamphetamine, a bag of a substance believed to be cocaine, and a 9mm handgun.
