On Dec. 13, a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer was stopped by a Missouri state trooper for a traffic violation on eastbound Interstate 70 near the 63-mile marker in Saline County, Missouri.
During the course of the traffic stop, inconsistencies and deceptive behavior of the occupants led the trooper to ask for consent to search the vehicle, which was granted. The trooper subsequently searched the vehicle locating 41 pounds of marijuana inside luggage located in the cargo area of the vehicle.
Gary R. Stojakovic, 31, of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, Jamelle R. Jones, 25, of Vossburg, Mississippi, and Colin M. Hennen, 28, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were arrested for second degree drug trafficking. They were transported to the Lafayette County Jail.
The charges for which the above individuals were arrested are mere accusation and not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the above charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
