NICEVILLE — An officer who stopped a vehicle for a minor traffic violation ended up arresting two men for felonies.

Justin Caine, 23, was driving in a 2003 Chevrolet Impala when the officer stopped him for a broken tag light, according to the Niceville Police Department arrest report.

When the officer approached the vehicle, he smelled marijuana and called another officer with a police dog for backup.

After the second officer arrived, they walked up to the vehicle and saw “a piece of a green leafy substance on the driver’s shirt,” the report stated.

At that point, they arrested Caine and found additional marijuana inside his right front pocket. In all, he had 28 grams of marijuana. Possession of more than 20 grams is considered a felony under Florida law.

Caine’s passenger, Ryan Williams, 24, said he knew that Caine had the marijuana and had smoked some with him.

Both were charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.
