Police stopped a white Jeep Cherokee near the intersection of East Speedway Boulevard and North Euclid Avenue at 11:42 p.m.

The driver of the truck, Loyd Byron Dabney, 44, of the 300 block of East Lester Street, agreed to let police search his car after officers noticed a strong smell resembling that of marijuana coming from the driver's-side window, reports stated.

Officers found two suspected joints and asked Dabney what they were.

Dabney told police, "It's joints. Marijuana. You got me," reports stated. He was cited on suspicion of drug paraphernalia possession instead of drug possession because the joints did not contain enough suspected marijuana to smoke, reports stated. Dabney was also cited on suspicion of making an improper lane change and released, reports stated.
