Paris – An bizarre story out of Paris, where police on Thursday evening find during a routine traffic stop a man trying to consume the very drugs he was in possession of.
At around 10pm on Thursday, Officer Sain of the Paris Police Department stopped a vehicle in the 3300 block of the NE Loop 286 for a broken tail light lens. While making the stop, Sain was assisted by DPS Trooper Blount, who approached the passenger side. While Sain was speaking with the driver, Blount noticed the passenger had something in his possession and was trying to spit it out. After removing the passenger from the vehicle, it was discovered the passenger was trying to consume marijuana that was in his possession.
The passenger, identified as 20-year-old Jonathan Atkinson, was placed under arrest for possession of marijuana and tampering with physical evidence, which is a felony.
