Males found with pound of pot in vehicle arrested for drug trafficking
A Dayton police officer involved in the manhunt for a homicide suspect found a mobile drug operation instead.
Officers were in the 600 block of Cambridge Avenue searching for a suspect Monday evening when a Sergeant spotted two males sitting in a parked pickup truck. When he approached the window the male on the passenger side immediately reached down towards a large bag of marijuana sitting on the floor in front of the center console, according to a police report.
The officer yelled for the passenger and driver to put their hands up and had to detain the driver when he tried to exit and walk away from the car.
Once both men were in custody, police searched the vehicle and found a Kroger shopping bag in the front seat full of 121 grams of marijuana. They also found seven different cell phones, a digital scale, a box of sandwich bags, bundles of cash and four more bags of marijuana, the report stated.
The male who had been in the passenger seat had keys to another car parked on the street in his pocket. When officers approached that vehicle they could plainly see another large bag of marijuana, which turned out to weigh 455 grams, the report stated.
In total, police confiscated about one and a half pounds of pot from the two males, identified as Quentin Brown, 33, and Daniel Jackson, 31. Both were taken to the Montgomery County Jail and face felony charges of possession of criminal tools, and trafficking in drugs.
Jackson has numerous previous drug arrests and has been convicted of possession of marijuana in Montgomery County seven times since 2002. He also has one previous trafficking conviction and one previous conviction for possession of criminal tools.
Brown was sentenced to six years in prison in 2000 for a previous conviction for crack cocaine possession.
