Four
teenagers were driving home from a friend’s house when they were pulled over
for a defective brake light. When the
officer made contact with the driver, he could smell intoxicants coming from
the vehicle. UV Vodka and marijuana were
found in the vehicle.
Police
arrested the 17 year old driver and he was cited for operating with controlled
substance, underage person transporting intoxicants and underage
possess/consume alcohol-2nd.
An
18-year-old male passenger was arrested for underage drinking-2nd
and possession of THC with intent to deliver, which is a felony offense.
A
third teenager was cited for underage consumption of alcohol.
The
fourth teenager in the car was released to their parents.
Unfortunate
for the teenagers being pulled over, cited and arrested, however they are safe. It's a scary fact of teenagers drinking or using drugs and getting behind a wheel. In this case, the defective break light may have saved their lives.
