responding officer was dispatched to investigate a suspicious male outside Jesse’s Island Store that was making employees and customers uncomfortable. The employee who called police said the man had been in and out of the store all day and was giving off “Charles Manson” vibes. The store requested the man be trespassed from the property. The officer made contact with the subject who seemed “out of it” according to police. The man, who said he was from Englewood, was told he was no longer allowed on the property and was issued a trespass warning. 11/15, 4:52 p.m., habitual traffic offender, 5600 Marina Drive. While sitting stationary, officers observed a vehicle that alerted through police license plate recognition that the driver had a suspended license and other issues. The driver matched the description of the registered owner, so officers initiated a traffic stop. As officers approached the vehicle, the female driver would only roll down the window a couple of inches, and when she did, a strong odor of marijuana was present. The nervous driver used her paperwork to try to cover up a Raw brand rolling tray with marijuana crumbs visible on it. Police had probable cause to search the vehicle and found several small baggies with marijuana in them. The suspect said the marijuana was for her own personal use and admitted to not having a valid license. The driver was arrested on multiple charges related to the marijuana and habitual traffic offenses including driving without a license. Manatee County Sheriff’s Office arrived to take her to Manatee County Jail and the vehicle was towed.
