Another Routine Traffic Stop, Another Drug Bust, CORRIGAN, February 8, 2011 - Shortly after 3 am on February 8, 2011, Sergeant William Jerry with the Polk County Sheriff's Office was patrolling US-59 North in Moscow when he spotted a black 2003 Kia Spectra driven by Marico Demonze Stotts, 23, of Nacogdoches, north-bound. Jerry noticed that the car did not have a rear license plate and followed it into Corrigan where he pulled the vehicle over. According to Jerry, when he walked up to the car, there was a very strong smell of un-burnt marijuana. Jerry also noted that the driver was acting very nervous. Sergeant Jerry asked Marico Stotts to step out of the car and put cuffs on Stotts for safety and also Stotts' passenger, Jeremy Dylan Jackson, 22, also of Nacogdoches. Both men were cuffed. Jerry was backed up by Corrigan Police Department. Jerry initiated a vehicle search and found a white plastic grocery bag in the trunk of the vehicle. Inside the bag was three ziplock bags filled with marijuana. Both men (Marico Stotts and Jeremy Jackson) were placed under arrest and charged with felony possession of marijuana.
