CONDUCTING A SEARCH: Officers detained Joseph Jackson while searching his car. They later located Molly underneath the passenger seat.

THOMASVILLE- Thomasville Police Department conducted a traffic stop on Thursday afternoon, resulting in the arrest of Joseph Jackson.

According to agents, TPD conducted a traffic stop at the intersection of S. Madison St. and Wright St. When they approached the car, they smelled the strong odor of marijuana and asked Jackson to step out of the vehicle so they could conduct a probable cause search based on reasonable suspicion.

While searching the vehicle, agents located a magnetic box mounted up under the passenger seat. Inside of the box was 8.8 grams of Molly, along with plastic baggies to be used for distribution.

Agents said Molly, along with Meth are some of the most common street drugs they are seeing at this time.

Jackson was brought back to the station for questioning, where he admitted the magnetic box was his.

Jackson was charged with possession of a Schedule I drug, seat belt violation and driving while his license is suspended or revoked.

Agents were glad to make the arrest, as Jackson was not someone currently on their radar.

While Thursday did not officially kick off the weekend, Jackson was one of many arrested over the course of Thursday-Sunday for possession of a Schedule I drug.
