On Friday night, an Irmo Officer stopped a vehicle for an equipment violation. Pretty standard stuff usually ends with a written warning, however, during the course of the stop officers found a bookbag with 2 pounds of marijuana and a digital scale inside of it. Officers then learned that driver (who was the only person in the car) was out on bond for 4 counts of attempted murder, discharging a firearm into a vehicle and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. They had an ankle monitor though We arrested the driver for Possession With Intent to Distribute Marijuana.
Early Saturday Morning, an Irmo Officer stopped a car for traveling 23 mph over the posted speed limit. During the course of that stop, Officers discovered that the Driver’s (only person in the car) South Carolina Driver’s license was suspended. Officers also located 208 grams of marijuana, $2,755.00 in cash, and a firearm in the vehicle. The Driver was issued a ticket for speeding and arrested for Driving Under Suspension 1st and Possession With Intent to Distribute Marijuana.
