Automobile Observation Report
On Thursday 01/24/107 at approximately 0301 hours, I, J. Farmer observed a silver Buick Lucerne (bearing Ga. tag VEV074), serve in the right lane and hit the white line, on Pass Rd near 8th Ave. I conducted a traffic stop at the intersection of Pass Rd and 6th Ave.

After Peters was out of the vehicle, I asked him if there was anything illegal in the vehicle, and he stated, "there's nothing in the vehicle, you can search it". I then returned to the vehicle near the opened driver door, and observed a piece of Marijuana on the driver side floor board, along with two pieces in the drivers door compartment.

Cotton's towing was dispatched to the scene, where they impounded the vehicle.
Peters was given a citation for careless driving, and charged with Possession of Marijuana (less than 30 grams), and possession of a stolen firearm. Then transported to the HCADC.
The Marijuana was placed into the Gulfport Police Station property room, along with a crime lab submission form. The handgun was also placed into the Gulfport Police station property room as (Stolen/Recovered) property. Photos of the handgun were uploaded into Veripic.
