On Saturday, December 29th, just before 9:00 PM, Marshall County Officer Wozniak initiated a traffic stop on a gray 2010 Honda mini-van in the area of US 31 and 12th Road.
During the investigation, Officer Wozniak detected a strong odor of marijuana emitting from inside the vehicle. A search of the vehicle resulted in the findings of 61.5 grams of marijuana and paraphernalia.
The driver of the vehicle, 49 year old Ann M. Johnson of Monticello, was taken to the Marshall County Jail and booked in for Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Paraphernalia.
Listeners and readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
