A witness called the Sonora Police Department and reported they were
following a possible intoxicated driver. The driver had crossed over
double solid yellow lines several times almost striking oncoming
traffic. The vehicle then ran into a curb in front of Sonora High School
where it stopped.
Officers contacted the driver who was identified as Kevin
Davis, 19 of Turlock. Officers noticed right away that Davis was under
the influence of a controlled substance. Officers also noticed a very
strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle.
A search of the vehicle resulted in almost a pound of processed
marijuana. There were several mason jars containing 50 grams each and a
large 2 gallon thermos which contained 205 grams of marijuana.
Davis was taken into custody for felony transporting and sales
of marijuana. He was also arrested for misdemeanor driving under the
influence of a controlled substance.
