Traffic Stop In Oak Creek Turns Into Drug Charges

OAK CREEK, WI — On June 8, Oak Creek police pulled over a driver of a vehicle for operating with a suspended license, only to find the driver in possession of marijuana in an obvious manner.

According to police, an officer pulled over the vehicle on the 1200 block of W. College Ave. just before 2 a.m.
When the officer walked up to the driver's side door, they reportedly could detect a strong odor of raw marijuana coming from inside.

When the officer investigated, they found an orange "dime bag" brand padded container holding a glass pipe, silver metal grinder, and rolling papers in a black purse on the rear passenger seat.

On the front passenger floorboard was a red Nike bag that contained the "dime bag" container containing 4.8 grams of marijuana.

The trunk of the vehicle yielded a foot-long shrink wrap roll taped to a glass tip used as a smoking device.
