| 21 Year Old Flint Man Arrested For Driving Under The Influence of Marijuana |
| Posted By Freedman & Freedman |
 |
A 21 year old Flint man was recently stopped on 1-75 near Grand Blanc Road for having fully tinted windows - a civil infraction commonly referred to as defective equipment. Upon approaching the driver, multiple officers noted that the man had bloodshot eyes and they could smell burnt marijuana in the car which apparently the driver had attempted to conceal with an overabundance of body spray.
The man initially denied the presence of marijuana in the car but upon additional questioning by police finally admitted to the fact that he had smoked a marijuana cigarette approximately 30 minutes earlier and also had marijuana hidden under the passenger seat. Police were able to recover 42 grams of marijuana under the passenger seat of the car. The man was arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana, taken to county jail where he was booked and his blood was drawn to test for drugs.

| Son Of Jackson County Judge Pleads No Contest To Armed Robbery |
| Posted By Freedman & Freedman |
|
Charles Schmucker of Jackson, the 25 year old son of Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Chad Schmucker, has pled no contest to two counts of armed robbery. Schmucker reportedly accepted a plea bargain moments before a jury trial was to begin on Monday. It was reported that Schmucker also pled no contest to two aggravated assault charges. All charges allegedly stemmed from an incident in which Schmucker robbed two men in a dispute stemming from a marijuana deal. A no contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing purposes. A plea of this type is typically utilized if the Defendant is anticipating civil litigation. It is expected that Schmucker will be sentenced on May 19.

Three men were arrested on various charges in Woodhaven after someone called police to report there were people smoking pot in their truck.
Police arrived at the scene with a drug sniffing dog, who was able to detect the scent of marijuana and confirm its presence in the vehicle. The officer was able to smell the marijuana as well, and upon searching the vehicle found marijuana seeds and crumbled leaves throughout the suspect’s truck.
A passenger in the vehicle was also arrested, but for disorderly conduct and obstruction after he refused to comply with the officer’s orders. According to the article on
The News-Herald, the officer asked the passenger to step out of the vehicle and leave the scene, but he refused. The passenger became angry and refused to get out of the truck. After a profane outburst and refusing to leave the vehicle at least three times, the officer had the passenger arrested.
A third passenger was also arrested after it was discovered there was an arrest warrant out for a reckless driving charge.

| Police Intercept 150 Pounds of Marijuana in Wayne County |
| Posted By Freedman & Freedman |
|
Last week, Wayne County sheriff’s deputies intercepted 150 pounds of marijuana, leading to the arrest of two men.
Aaron Houston Cook, 20, along with another man in his 20s, was arrested and charged with possession with intent to deliver 45 kilos of marijuana.
Police received a tip that the two men were trying to ship the drugs in as cargo on a car hauler, and were also told when and where the drop-off was expected to take place.
In response, Wayne County narcotics officers set up surveillance in a parking lot near North Line Road and I-75. When the car hauler arrived at the scene, the two men got out of a waiting car and signed paperwork from the driver to take a limousine that he was carrying.
As soon as Cook got behind the wheel, police moved in and recovered 11 tightly packed bundles of marijuana, each about 18 inches long and 8 inches thick. Investigators believe the street value of the drugs is more than half a million dollars.
Both the vehicle and the marijuana have been confiscated.
Police do not believe the driver of the car hauler was involved.
