MARIJUANA: On February 26 at 12:20am, police located a male walking on Hwy 42/57 near Neenah Ave wearing only a t-shirt, pajama pants and boots. Due to the colder weather, police found this odd and contacted the male, who claimed he was walking back to Motel 57 from Wal-Mart.

At 1:19am, police were notified of a vehicle in the ditch farther east of the location where the officer first located the male. The officer returned to Motel 57, where another vehicle was pulling into the motel at the same time, and the officer observed the passenger was the same male from earlier.

The male from Janesville was issued traffic citations for operating with a suspended license and failure to maintain control of his vehicle, and issued ordinance citations for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The vehicle that had pulled into the motel parking lot was being driven by a 31 year old male from Beloit who was found not to have a valid driver's license, and he was issued a citation for that offense.
