Lieutenant Anzell Harris said Deputy T.M. Sewell stopped a vehicle near the 163 mile marker in the Enfield area for a motor vehicle violation just before 2:15 a.m.

Sewell, according to Harris, identified the driver as Susan Denise Watson.

Sewell reportedly could smell the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle as he talked to the driver and three other occupants.

The occupants refused to get out of the vehicle so Sewell could perform a probable cause search, Harris said.

With assistance from Lieutenant Neil Aycock, deputy and canine handler C. Boden, Sergeant Randy Keeton, Deputy J. Allen and the state Highway Patrol, an ultimate search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of 462 grams of marijuana. The search also netted marijuana roaches, smoking devices, rolling papers and a grinder.
