Chicago resident charged with unlawful possession of marijuana

A Chicago resident was charged with a felony of unlawful possession of cannabis with the intention to deliver on Tuesday, police said.

At about 12:45 a.m., police pulled over a black car in the 1400 block of Fowler Avenue, Dugan said. Once the officer pulled over the car, which had missed two stop signs, he asked the driver to step out of the vehicle after smelling cannabis.

During the search the officer found five clear, individually-wrapped plastic bags in his sweatshirt, each containing suspected cannabis. The bags weighed about 9.2 grams, Dugan said.

He was charged with a felony of unlawful possession of cannabis with the intention to deliver and two citations for the stop signs.
