Stillwater police seized more than 22 grams of synthetic marijuana during a traffic stop April 18.
Just before 10 p.m, Stillwater police pulled over a vehicle with no visible tail lights. During the traffic stop, the officer detected the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. According to police reports, the driver, a Bayport man, indicated that the vehicle belonged to the vehicle’s passenger, also of Bayport. Both occupants told police there was no illegal marijuana in the vehicle. Officers searched the driver, passenger and the vehicle and found items used to smoke marijuana and packages of Kronik Kryptonite. The driver told police it was synthetic marijuana.
Officers later found additional packages of synthetic marijuana, a scale and several clear baggies. According to police, the driver said that the items were purchased from a head shop in St. Paul, and he had purchased the synthetic marijuana for friends who did not have a vehicle. Both parties were cooperative, and police issued a citation for the possession of synthetic cannabinoids to the driver. Both were allowed to leave after all the contraband was seized.
In total, police seized 15.5 grams of Fuzzy Wuzzy Kryptonite and 7.4 grams of Kronike Kryptonite synthetic marijuana, and a digital scale.
