On Thursday, May 7 at about 11:38 p.m. agents of the Terrebonne Narcotics Task Force were patrolling in the area of Hollywood Road and West Park Avenue when a strong odor of marijuana was detected, resulting in a suspect vehicle being pulled over.

The vehicle, a blue Chevrolet Cobalt, was positively identified as the source of the odor and as agents engaged the occupants, a quantity of marijuana was observed in the vehicle.
