On September 4, 2022 While on patrol a Crossville Police Officer  observed a black Dodge Durango traveling on Burnett St. The driver of the vehicle did not have his seatbelt on and the passenger side brake light was out.

The officer  made contact with the driver of the vehicle.  He asked the driver if he was on probation or parole and he told him that he was on state probation. While speaking to him the officer observed that he was abnormally nervous and asked for and gained consent to search the  vehicle.

The officer then identified the passenger of the vehicle as Mr. Jason Young. 

The officer told Mr. Young due to him getting out of the vehicle on the passenger side that he would lose sight of his hands, not to put them in his pockets and to keep them above the car doors where he could still see them. Mr. Young then exited the vehicle and the officer observed his hands go below the car doors. The officer was then notified by his partner that he reached his hand in his right pocket and threw two clear plastic ziploc style baggies in the parking lot in an attempt to hinder the investigation. The officer then retrieved the two baggies in the parking lot which contained a crystal like substance in them that field tested positive for methamphetamine. A search of the vehicle  revealed two digital scales and several ziploc style baggies that matched the ones Mr. Young threw. The officer then mirandized Mr. Young at which time he agreed to talk to the officer. Mr. Young stated that he sold the methamphetamine to support his habit. He consented to a search of his phone to which the officer did observe messages that pertained to the sale and delivery of narcotics.  Mr. Young stated that the scales and the baggies were his. The approximate weight of the baggies was 3.40 grams of methamphetamine. The officer placed Mr. Young under arrest and Mr. Young was transported to intake for booking. The officer then requested the narcotics to be sent to the T.B.I lab to be Classified, Scheduled, Weighed and identified. The scales and the baggies were photographed and destroyed. All evidence was entered into the Crossville Police Dept.  The officer did write the driver two City Citations for the traffic offenses however he was not arrested and booked.
