A Friday night checking station at the Zoo Road North and West Tenth Street intersection yielded 44 grams of marijuana.

City County Task Force Agent D.R. Radford said in a statement the task force was assisting the state Highway Patrol around 10 p.m. when Alphonso Lee Williams Jr., 26, of Halifax, came through.

Radford smelled the strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.

A probable cause search yielded the marijuana.

Williams was arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana.

He was given a $1,500 bond and September 23 court date.
