17 year old Destinie Nicole Patterson, of Paris, was stopped in the 500 block of NE 17th Street for a traffic violation.
The officer reported that he immediately smelled what he believed to be marijuana when he made contact with Patterson.
A search revealed that Patterson allegedly had a baggie of marijuana in her boot along with a baggie of prescription pills. The pills were identified as Xanex and Patterson advised that she did not have a prescription for them.
Patterson was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance in a drug free zone. Patterson was later transferred to the Lamar County Jail.
