Dayton cops bust man for posession of baseball-sized chunk of cocaine November 4, 2010 - newstalkradiowhio.com
DAYTON, Ohio -- Officers patrolling a known gang area of Dayton as part of a gun violence task force made a home run of a drug bust Tuesday.
Around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday night, Dayton police officers in marked cruisers, along with detectives in civilian clothing were patrolling on Larkspur Drive near Fairport Avenue.
That's when they approached 24-year-old Javon Mattews for jaywalking and ended up arresting him after finding a baseball-sized chunk of crack cocaine on his personal.
According to police reports, when officers saw two men standing in the middle of the street, they approached the two men to cite them for jaywalking.
Matthews was holding two cell phones and shoved them into his coat pockets as officers approached.
After refusing to show his hands multiple times, he was handcuffed and officers searched his pockets. When they found a plastic bag containing the 42-gram chunk of cocaine, along with 6.5 grams of powdered cocaine and 5 grams of weed, Matthews was placed under arrest for trafficking in drugs and possession of drugs.
Matthews also had $770 on him.
When he was arrested, cops discovered that Matthews had several warrants out for his arrest including a felony drug indictment warrant in Montgomery County and a warrant for operating a vehicle while intoxicated in Vandalia.
Officers then gave Mr. Matthews a lift to the Montgomery County Jail to be booked on possible drug charges in addition to his outstanding warrants.

The part that confuses me is how were they able to search him? Is keeping hands in your pocket reason for suspicion?

Yeah in my experience, at least in my little home town the cops will search you if they want, and come up with the probable cause later.
The problem is that probable cause is a pretty loose term, and not always but usually they are pretty good at knowing beforehand who to search and who is a waste of time. Then if they can bust you for possession no one really cares how they got you.
