David Joel Dean, 38, of Marshall, told the Hopkins County Deputy that he had marijuana in his pocket. The confession came as a pat down search was initiated following a traffic stop at the 126 mile marker on I-30 Tuesday afternoon. The officer also located a clear glass pipe and a black plastic bag containing a clear crystal like substance believed to be methamphetamine.
Dean is in Hopkins County Jail charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group 1 more than 1-gram but less than 4-grams.
