What Happens When You Drive And Smoke
If your carrying a large amount of drugs in your car…..you may want to pay
attention to the road. One Sparta guy is learning that lesson.
Last weekend, cops got a a report that a guy failed to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk which caused that person to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. After getting the car’s description, they found it a few blocks away. 21 year old Nicholas Johnson told police that he remembered seeing a crossing guard and admitted to smoking pot that afternoon. A search of the car turned up several bags of marijuana and cash that is consistent with someone who is selling it.
Johnson was arrested and now faces several drug related felonies.
