Bag-o-Weed Falls from Vehicle as Officer Approaches

On Dec. 4, Deputy E. Croyle stopped a vehicle operated by Keyon James Chaplin, 20 of Lexington Park, for a traffic violation. 

As the vehicle was stopping, Deputy Croyle observed a small plastic baggie fall from the passenger window onto the roadway. After making contact with Chaplin, Deputy Croyle went over to the baggie which was lying approximately 15 feet from where Chaplin’s vehicle stopped.  The baggie contained suspected marijuana. 

Further investigation lead to the arrest of the Chaplin for possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
