When Jason Sprott got out of his car after being stopped by police in Waldo, Florida, on Sunday, he didn’t have to say a word about having drugs on him. It was right there on his shirt for the officer to see.
Sprott, 37, of Jacksonville, was stopped for speeding at around 1:22pm. When Sprott stepped out of his Chevy Astro van as ordered, Officer Kenneth Smith noticed a green leafy substance on the front of his shirt, according to a Waldo Police Department report. Smith also detected a strong smell of marijuana.
Sprott told the officer that he had been smoking pot and that he had some in his van. Smith found a clear plastic bin between the seats that contained several plastic bags of marijuana and a scale. Sprott also had $193 in cash in his pocket.
Sprott was arrested on charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and keeping a vehicle for drug purposes. He is being held in the Alachua County jail on $17,500 bond.
