The incident occurred when Trooper Chavez stopped a GMC Sierra. During the interaction, Clark’s suspicious behavior prompted additional questioning. Upon receiving Clark’s consent to search the vehicle, the following items were discovered:
- Two containers of methamphetamine
- Less than two ounces of marijuana
- A backpack containing more than six obscene items of a sexual nature
Clark was arrested and charged with:
- Possession of a Controlled Substance in Penalty Group 1 (less than 1 gram)
