23-year-old former high school football player Shawn Ussia was confronted by law enforcement when he and his friend Alyssa Buchanan drove in an SUV with an illegal tint. When Officers arrived, they smelt a substantial marijuana odor from the car. So, they told both Ussia and Buchanan to exit the car for a search of the vehicle, and they located loose buds of marijuana in the driver’s seat, which came from a ripped bag in the glove box while doing a probable search. When officers searched Ussia’s person, they found two corner bags containing marijuana and over $1,400 in cash. Ussia was taken into custody and charged with unlawful drug paraphernalia and being the manufacturer, deliverer, or seller of a controlled substance.
