Man Tells Cop He Was Going to Sell Crack Cocaine to Raise Some Cash

A North Carolina man devised a rather questionable way to raise a little extra cash for the holidays.

According to police, Mark Hall, 22, of Reidsville, N.C., had crack cocaine in his possession when the vehicle in which he was a passenger was pulled over on Nov. 24.

A Gwinnett County Police officer spotted the vehicle, a  Dodge Caravan, make a lane change without signaling and then noticed the van was following within one to two car lengths of another vehicle on I-85 southbound just north of Hamilton Mill Road. The officer activated his lights, but the driver, later identified as Carlos Clark, 23, of Eden. N.C., did not pull over. Instead, according to the police report, Clark slowed down and exited at Hamilton Mill Road. The officer followed, continuing to use lights and sirens in an effort to get Clark to stop. Clark passed the Shell station and turned right at the access road next to Taco Bell before cutting over to Sardis Church Road. Clark eventually brought his vehicle to a stop near the Goodwill.

While following the vehicle, the officer noticed Hall and Clark’s other passenger “moving around in their seats a good deal” prior to the stop.

Upon approaching the vehicle, the officer noticed a faint odor of marijuana. Clark apologized to the officer for not stopping sooner. The officer told Clark to turn the van off and step out of the vehicle.

The officer asked Clark for his name, date of birth and travel plans. Clark said his first name was “Cornullius” and that he was going to see a girl named “Shorty” at an unknown location.
