Honesty's the best policy
11:14 p.m. — 200 Block of Nova Road. Narcotics. During a traffic stop, an Ormond Beach police officer noticed the driver appeared unusually nervous. He also told the driver he smelled raw marijuana, to which a female passenger responded that it was only the odor of freshly sprayed perfume, according to reports.
During a search of the vehicle, the officer found a “hand-rolled cigar containing a green leafy substance.” The defendant then asked what he found and, according to the report, said, “Yep, that’s all of my weed. Do I get it back?”
The defendant was arrested for possession of marijuana and given a notice to appear.

This weed is your weed, this weed is my weed ...
5:28 p.m. — Intersection of Division Avenue and South Center Street. Narcotics. An Ormond Beach police officer made a traffic stop for seat-belt and window-tint violations, but the driver appeared jumpy and "had difficulty maintaining eye contact,” according to reports.
The officer asked the driver if she had any marijuana in the vehicle, which she denied. A drug-sniffing dog was then called in and detected an odor of marijuana. Prior to searching the vehicle, the driver told police there was “a little weed” in the center console, at which point the passenger told police it was his weed. The driver, however, told police it was her weed.
The driver and passenger finally came to the agreement that the weed belonged to both of them. They were arrested for possession and each given a notice to appear.
