A search resulted in the discovery of a spaghetti sauce jar that reportedly contained 8.1 grams of crack cocaine, 7.5 grams of powdered cocaine and 19.7 grams of marijuana. The jar also contained a digital scale.
Richardson was arrested and charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver schedule II, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, maintaining a vehicle for the use of a controlled substance and driving without a license.
He was jailed on $10,000 bond and has a January 15 court date.
