23-year-old Alexus “JUICY” Conard and 33-year-old Jeremy Carruthers were each charged with possession of marijuana after a search of the vehicle they were both occupying rendered over 70 grams of weed and $5,080.
On October 27th, Memphis Police Detectives Mills and Orlando observed a green 1998 Chevrolet Camaro with the entire windshield tinted, obstructing law enforcement from seeing inside the vehicle. They initiated a traffic stop and as Detective Mills was speaking to the driver, Jeremy Carruthers, he could smell a strong odor of marijuana. Jeremy did admit to smoking marijuana earlier in the day. Jeremy and the passenger, Alexus Conard, stepped out of the vehicle for the detectives to investigate the smell.
