A woman from Mississippi has been released following her arrest by Carmi Police on Monday afternoon. At approximately 4 PM, officers stopped 28-year-old Jenna Davis from Bogue Chitto, Mississippi, near a local Dairy Queen. The initial stop was due to Davis reportedly driving a vehicle with an expired registration that had lapsed for approximately five years.
During the traffic stop, law enforcement officers detected the smell of raw cannabis emanating from the vehicle. This led to a probable cause search, resulting in the discovery of cannabis inside the car.
Legal Charges and Release
Davis was subsequently arrested and booked on charges including Possession of Cannabis in a Motor Vehicle and Driving with an Expired Registration. After being processed, she was released around 5:15 PM with a Notice to Appear in court.
This incident underscores the ongoing complexities surrounding cannabis legislation in Mississippi, particularly as the state navigates the evolving landscape of cannabis regulation and enforcement.
