Officers follow their noses to drug suspects

An off-duty officer said he saw a car drive under Veterans Memorial Bridge near Fisherman's Park in downtown Shelbyville, then smelled a marijuana odor coming from the vehicle a few minutes later.

Ricky Joe Freeman, 29, Martha Street, who police said was driving the car, allegedly denied smoking anything, then admitted using marijuana after a vehicle search was requested.

Freeman told officers marijuana was in the car's console; they said they recovered approximately 7.5 grams and three roaches.

Charges of driving on a revoked/suspended license and possession of a schedule VI drug were filed against Freeman, who was released on $1,000 bond at Bedford County Jail.

*Another marijuana arrest was made later Saturday night after Officer Tory Moore reported he smelled marijuana in a passing car while on patrol.

A passenger in the car, Jimmy Lee Mallard, 23, North Fairoak Street, allegedly admitted possessing marijuana after a bag containing two hand-rolled cigarettes was found next to him in a door storage compartment.

Mallard was charged with possession of a schedule VI drug and released on $500 bond.
