Not Wearing A Seat Belt Lands A Man In The Brazos County Jail On Drug Charges

A College Station police officer sees a driver not wearing their seat belt and sees on the vehicle’s instrument panel, a blinking red seat belt light. That leads to a traffic stop just after four in the morning last Friday (December 20th). The CSPD arrest report also says when the officer began speaking with the driver, the officer smelled marijuana. That led to a search of the driver and his vehicle. Cash was found in the driver’s pocket and the center console of the vehicle that totaled $1,995 dollars. Inside the vehicle and in the trunk were multiple gallon sized bags that contained a combined total of 68 grams (2.4 ounces) of marijuana. The driver, 23 year old Jerrod Stewart of Huntsville, was arrested for possessing marijuana in a drug free zone. As of December 26th, Stewart remains jailed in lieu of a $10,000 dollar bond. Online jail records also say Stewart was also arrested on a warrant for failing to pay fines and fees totaling $1,212 dollars from a prior conviction for attempted possession of marijuana.
