(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports one arrest took place over the weekend. 27-year-old Santiago X Serrano, of Joliet, IL, was pulled over for speeding 79-mph in a 70 mph zone on Interstate 80 eastbound, near the Greenfield exit. The traffic stop took place at around 4:43-a.m., Saturday. There were three occupants in the vehicle, a 2017 Toyota sedan. An Adair County Deputy conducting the traffic stop reported the smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle.
After the occupants of the car were asked to step out of the vehicle, and during a subsequent probable cause search, the deputy located multiple THC products in Serrano’s luggage, and in the trunk of the vehicle. Serrano also had a pen on his person used for inhaling and introducing THC oils into the human body. Serrano took full ownership of the products, and acknowledged he bought the large amount to last him for the summer, while he was back in Illinois, from California.
The products ranged from THC oils, dab, to bud marijuana. Serrano was issued a citation to appear in court on charges of Possession of Marijuana and Possession of drug paraphernalia. He also received a written warning for speeding. Serrano was released at the scene with his citation.
