Brookline Cops Find Weed in Sock of Driver

If you’ve been charged with dealing drugs, it may not be the best idea to simultaneously drive around with a suspended license, not wear a seat belt, and blow a red light. Oh, and stash marijuana in your sock.

Brookline police say 22-year-old Shaqueal Thomas did all those things last week.

Thomas, a Roslindale resident whose license was suspended for a previous drug dealing charge, was arrested Tue., July 22.

Police said they pulled him over on Harvard Street after he ran a red light. Officers ran his name through a database and discovered his suspended license.

He was arrested and brought back to the police department for processing. While being searched, officers said they found a small, plastic bag of marijuana in his sock.

Thomas was charged with operating after suspension, marijuana possession, running a red light, and not wearing a seat belt.
