Muskego WI March 15 2013 A man who is a security guard is now charged with possession of THC and drug paraphernalia, despite his claims that he had taken it from another suspect during a shift at work.
According to the Muskego Police report:
An officer pulled the man over around 1 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 24 after he noticed the license plate was inappropriately displayed on the vehicle's grill. The 20-year-old man from West Milwaukee explained that it was his grandmother's vehicle and that police there had OKed the plate's placement on the vehicle during a previous traffic stop, according to the report.
As police determined the man was also under an active warrant for a traffic incident in Milwaukee, they conducted a search of the man and were told they would find a bag of marijuana, pipe and scale, which they did. However, the man told police that he had come from his shift as a security guard at the Waukesha County Expo Center, and that the items were not his.
According to the defendant, he had observed a suspicious man leave and attempt to re-enter the center, and he had smelled marijuana on him. He conducted a search of the man and found the drugs and paraphernalia on him, and had intended to turn them over to a police officer. However, he told police that none were on duty, and he planned on giving them to the property manager the next day.
The man was charged in Muskego Municipal Court for the offenses.
