K-9 helps police find marijuana in car

Madison police arrested two men for alleged drug possession with intent to sell after a traffic stop revealed marijuana in their vehicle March 21. 

 

According to a police report, an officer patrolling the 400 block of West Gilman Street and West Gorham Street noticed individuals suspiciously approaching a vehicle. Police followed the black 2001 Chevy Impala and stopped the vehicle on North Park Street for a traffic violation.  

 

After suspecting drug activity, police called for a MPD K-9 handler to come and inspect the vehicle for substances. According to police, a sniff test of the interior and exterior of the vehicle resulted in the discovery of 4.5 grams of marijuana throughout the vehicle.  

 

Police arrested the driver, 21-year-old Emmanuel G. Cervantes-Reyes of Madison, who is tentatively charged with possession with intent to sell THC and operating after revocation. 

 

A 19-year-old passenger, Juan C. Martinez-Arias, was also arrested and tentatively charged with possession with intent to sell THC.
