Chief A.J. Benefield said officers conducting a traffic stop
Wednesday night about 7:10 p.m. arrested Murphy Hal Turner-Scott after they
smelled an odor of raw marijuana through the driver's side window.
After a search, the officers found 13.5 pounds of marijuana.
The man was arrested for drug trafficking, with bond set at $1 million.
The other arrest came after a traffic stop in response to a
reckless driving call. Benefield said a vehicle was traveling in both lanes of
the road at excessive speeds.
The driver, Jeremy Fassina, had felony warrants through the
Shelby County Sheriff's Office. Inside the vehicle, officers found computers,
debit cards and narcotics.
Fassina has been charged with drug trafficking, drug
possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. His bonds are in excess of $1
million.
