Drugs Hidden in Car, but Not Well Enough

It wasn't exactly a set nesting dolls, but a Buford man reportedly used a similar technique to conceal a bag of methamphetamine in his vehicle.

On March 25, a Gwinnett County Police officer investigating a report of a suspicious vehicle found Jason Scott Green, 33, of Buford, sitting in a Kia Spectra on Maddox Road. Green had parked the vehicle facing the wrong direction and had stopped approximately two feet from the curb.

When the officer asked Green what he was doing, Green reportedly said he was programming his new cell phone. A subsequent license check revealed Green was on probation. 

Upon learning Green was on probation for drug possession, the officer asked for permission to search the vehicle. Green reportedly replied, "This is [expletive deleted], but yeah, go ahead and search it."

"In the center console, I located a box of Turtle Wax headlight lens restorer," the officer wrote in the report. "I opened this box and found a cardboard pack of Marlboro cigarettes. Inside the cigarette box, I located a folded up empty nickel roll. I pulled the nickle roll out of the box. As I did, I felt something inside. I opened the nickel roller and looked inside. I saw a folded clear baggy. I removed the baggy from the roller. I unfolded the baggy, revealing a white powder crystalized substance consistent of methamphetamine."

The substance field-tested positive for methamphetamine and Green was placed under arrest.

Green was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail on charges of possession of methamphetamine and improper parking. As of April 1, he remained jailed without bond on the drug charge.
