City police officers were dispatched to 2001 Westgate Avenue Friday afternoon about 3:30 to locate a specific vehicle.
That vehicle was located and the driver, 23 year old Matthew S. Olds was wanted for questioning on a unrelated event. As Officer Stuart Krynock was speaking with Mr. Olds, he detected the strong smell of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle.
Olds was arrested for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia that were located inside the vehicle. He was given a court date of August 16 and a bond of $1000.
Listeners and readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
