20-year-old Ashley Ann Dickson and her three other passengers were not wearing their seatbelts near South Riverside Drive and Main Street on May 15th. Officers observed this and conducted a traffic stop near Augustine Insurance. During the stop, they noticed the vehicle reeking of marijuana before Dickson admitted to smoking and handed them a roach. Officers, however, did not find anything when searching her vehicle. During the search, one of the passengers attempted to hide Dickson’s purse behind the patrol vehicle. Officers grabbed Dickson’s purse after searching her car, which is when she admitted she had marijuana in the purse. Officers then weighed the marijuana found in Dickson’s purse, which came out to be 115 grams. Dickson’s vehicle was then released to her passenger, Abby Dickson. Ashley Dickson was taken into custody for a seatbelt violation and possession of marijuana with intent on May 15th.
