The reason for the stop was failure to use turn signals at Green Road and Cragmont Street. As Officer Lewis approached the vehicle, he noted an odor of marijuana coming from the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
The odor of marijuana establishes probable cause for the officer to search the vehicle. During the subsequent search, officers located marijuana, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

Littrell faces preliminary alleged charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia and visiting a common nuisance. Jennings faces preliminary alleged charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, and maintaining a common nuisance. Newby faces preliminary alleged charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia and visiting a common nuisance. Michael Jennings was operating the vehicle at the time of the stop.
