A pat-down turned up a small amount of marijuana in Martin’s pocket.

•Andrea Shinholser Harris, 35, and Johnny Paul Harris, 27, both of 411 Valley Brook Crossing, Decatur, misdemeanor possession of marijuana. They were in a northbound truck pulled over for a cracked windshield.

Both suspects denied knowledge of the drugs, saying they had borrowed the suitcase from a friend.

•Darryl Davarius Simmons, 36, 667 Magnolia Street NW, Atlanta, misdemeanor possession of marijuana. An officer pulled him over on the southbound lane for an improperly displayed tag. Upon approaching the vehicle, he said he noted the smell of marijuana. Simmons did not deny using marijuana, the report said. Instead, he said he used it for medical purposes and told the officer that a blunt could be found under the floor mat. The officer retrieved the marijuana cigar and found another in a jacket pocket, the report said.
