While a deputy was speaking with the driver, 21-year old Malik Rashad Lambert, of Creston, he detected the odor of marijuana. A consent search of the vehicle was obtained, the result of which was the discovery of a lock box inside the trunk.

Lambert was arrested for Possession of Marijuana, Distribution of marijuana, and failure to affix a drug tax stamp. He was being held in the Adams County Jail on $17,000 bond.
