21-year-old Tykes Mosley was caught with marijuana in the parking lot of McGregor Park at 3:14 a.m. on July 16th. When officers initially made contact with Mosley, he told them he was “enjoying the scenery.” Once Mosley opened his door, officers reported that they observed the strong smell of marijuana. During a probable cause search of Mosley’s car, officers located a clear baggie containing 19 grams of marijuana, a scale, another clear baggie, a “roach,” and an unused backwoods cigar.
Officers also discovered a Smith & Wesson 380 pistol and a pair of brass knuckles. After being Mirandized, Mosley admitted that everything in that car was his.
