Another Drug Bust! State Trooper Escamilla seizes 79 pounds of 🌿marijuana🌿 en-route to Alabama

[@PolicePursuits]

Trooper's Report: (Trooper Escamilla stops the driver, James Revels, for failure to maintain lanes, resulting in the seizure of approximately 79 pounds of illegal marijuana with an estimated street value of $158,000, according to the state police.) On 11-12-23 I, Trooper A. Escamilla was traveling on Interstate 40 near the 179 mile marker. I observed a Pacifica bearing Florida LPN (38BNYR) failed to maintain its lane an hit the fog line in the number 1 lane. I initiated a traffic stop on Interstate 40 near the 178 mile marker. I made contact with the driver identified as James Revels. I advised James of who I was, the agency I represented and the reason for the stop. As I made contact with James, it should be known that a strong odor of marijuana came from inside of the vehicle. I asked James for his driver’s license and for the vehicle information. I asked James to exit the vehicle and come to mine to continue the traffic stop. I asked James where he was traveling and he stated the following. James was traveling from Oklahoma City and traveling to Bradenton Florida (Tampa area) to visit his uncle. I looked at his rental agreement which stated the following. The vehicle was rented on November 11, 2023 at 6:28 PM in Tulsa Oklahoma by Revonda Quigley and was to be returned on 11-12-23 at 6:21 PM in Tulsa Oklahoma. I asked James why the Rental agreement stated that the rental was for one day and James stated that due to lack of Funds, he intended on calling the rental company to tell them that he was going to return the vehicle a little later than expected. Due to the odor of Marijuana coming from inside of the vehicle I had James step out of my front seat and sit in the rear of my vehicle. I asked James how much marijuana was it that he was traveling with. James stated “none”. I then advised him that I could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside of the vehicles in which he responded “you can?”. I advised James that a PC search of the vehicle would be done. In the rear of the SUV was a dark cloth like material concealing something under it. Under the cloth were 4 trash bags which contained several vacuum sealed packages of Marijuana. I then placed James under arrest. I read James his miranda rights and James agreed to speak to me without an attorney present. James stated that he was traveling from Oklahoma City and was traveling to Montgomery Alabama to make the delivery of the marijuana. James stated that he did not know the weights but stated that he met some individuals in a parking lot in OKC who gave him possession of the marijuana to deliver. James stated that due to lack of income, he resorted to transporting marijuana. James stated that his family member rented the vehicle and that they were not aware of what James was doing. James was placed in a holding cell while I made a count of the packages. Inside of 4 bags contained 79 packages of Marijuana. James was arrested and charged with: Possession of Schedule 6 with Purpose to deliver, drug paraphernalia and Use of another persons property to facilitate a crime.

[@disconductorder]

well a few things you would notice if you watch again she waited unttil she looked at driver before pulling him over if you watch from beginning- she def used bias and assumption to pull this guy over 1. Out of state plates on rental 2. Scruffy lookin dude driving minivan with NO kids or passengers 3. Long trip in rental 4. He did swerve which is sign of nervousness or intoxication, if he was actually drunk then she wouldnt think there was weed, but he was driving nervous alongside being scruffy lookin dude in minivan with no kids they take alot of classes based on prior busts, he def fits profile of drug trafficking by appearance alone

[@AN-12345]

oh I agree none of that is illegal but SUSPECT AF, i would notice that passing that dude in brand new minivan you don't rock that look and pay a lease on minivan, plain and simple if he didn't swerve, which I argue she caused him to swerve by drivng as close as she did, imagine looking in mirror and a cop is eyeing you up-you keep checkin your mirror for them to pop the lights. @@AN-12345

[@fhuber7507]

"I smell weed"is being challenged as a valid reason for search. And cops are losing. The dogs are being challenged because they always "alert" off camera, near front bumper, as far from the stuff found (if any) as possible in the vehicle. Falsify enough evidence and your methods become illegal to use.

[@Freshkolor]

Had a similar thing happen, they are just trying to arrest people. Gives them more of a reason to have the job. Not to mention that’s what the politicians and private prison owners want too. Everyone gets a cut. They will try to seize even the smallest amounts of cash, saying it’s drug related with no proof of any of that.

[@JasonAldeann-bt4xf]

This has been happening to every race for decades

[@Kboss00]
