Austin Criminal Defense Lawyer

Two people from Texas were arrested during a traffic stop on Friday afternoon after police discovered marijuana and over $12,000 cash.

Roger Dale Jackson and Heather Jackson of Dayton, Texas, are facing multiple charges following a traffic stop shortly before 2:00 p.m. Friday. According to the 27th Judicial District Drug Task Force, the Jackson’s were stopped in a black 1994 Nissan Altima with Texas tags for an alleged traffic violation. Officers searched the vehicle and found two marijuana cigarettes inside a cigarette box and five Adderal capsules in the glove compartment.

A search of the bags in the vehicle’s truck turned up 94 grams of marijuana and a plastic bag containing $12,650. According to a DTF press release, a statement given by one of the Jackson’s claimed the money was not their own but rather drug money given to them by a friend in Madisonville, KY.
