Man Arrested for Possession After Traffic Stop, LIVINGSTON, February 25, 2011 - Shortly before 2 pm on February 24, 2011, Deputy Mike Nettles with the Polk County Sheriff's Office made a routine traffic stop of a tan 1996 Nissan Altima driven by James Brian Hartin, 30, of Livingston.  Nettles stopped Hartin at FM-3126 at Sundance.  Deputy Nettles suspected drugs and received consent to do a vehicle search.  Deputy Nettles' suspicion was accurate as he uncovered a baggie containing a fairly generous portion of marijuana.  Additionally, Nettles uncovered pills.  James Brian Hartin was placed under arrest and booked into Polk County Jail for possession.  A rollback wrecker from Harwood Wrecker Service towed Hartin's vehicle and it will be stored at 101 Harwood Drive in Livingston.  The scene was cleared by 3 pm.
James Hartin can only look down after Deputy Mike Nettles caught him with contraband.
"It's in the bag" so to speak. Deputy Nettles located a baggy containing marijuana.
Pills and marijuana. Deputy Nettles confiscates the goods.
Vehicle Recovery Specialist Jim Harwood finishes the job.
