Man pulled over for lights, caught with handgun, fake marijuana
A 29-year-old University student was charged Feb. 10 with driving with no headlights and possession of synthetic marijuana and a weapon.
Michael Terry, of 39483 Old Cornerstone Court in Prairieville, was pulled over by LSU Police Department officers at 12:29 a.m. for driving without headlights on Highland and West Parker roads, said Sgt. Blake Tabor, LSUPD spokesman.
The LSUPD officer said Terry seemed nervous, so the officer secured permission to search Terry’s vehicle.
Upon obtaining permission, Terry admitted to having a Smith and Wesson .40 caliber handgun in the vehicle, which is illegal when carrying illegal substances, Tabor said.
During the search, the officer found 0.7 grams of synthetic marijuana, which Tabor said recently became illegal, and rolling papers, Tabor said. Terry was charged and booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
