Heroin found in potato chip container
It wasn't speeding on Interstate 80 in Pocono Township Thursday night that landed Adam Brink and his passenger in trouble.
Brink got a warning from the state trooper who stopped him for traveling 65 mph in a 55 mph zone.
And according to court records, it wasn't even the lit cigarette butt that Brink's passenger tossed -- a butt that nearly hit the trooper's marked patrol car as Brink's car traveled west on the highway.
A combination of other factors, records showed, led police to a doctored potato chip canister that officials said had a false bottom and contained syringes and 90 packets of heroin with a street value of about $2,250.
The probable cause affidavit in the cases of Brink, 19, and his passenger David A. Wesser, 21, both of Endicott, N.Y., said the arresting trooper first noticed an ''overwhelming'' odor from several air fresheners. The trooper then noticed a rubber band on the floor of the car, one like those commonly used to package packets, or bundles, of heroin. A background check showed Wesser had a felony drug arrest several months ago. He was nervous and avoided eye contact, police said. Then, officials said, there was conflict between two men's stories about where they had been.
A search of the car revealed the chip can. Police said it had a twist-off bottom which led to an empty space that spanned halfway up the container. The affidavit said Wesser admitted he and Brink were ''just delivering the heroin to somebody back home.'' Court records said Wesser told police that while he and Brink were in Paterson, N.J., a man gave them a plastic bag containing the chip canister. He said neither knew what was inside.
Both men were committed to Monroe County Prison under $50,000 bail early Friday after arraignment before District Judge Anthony Fluegel of Tobyhanna on charges including possession and possession to distribute heroin, possession of drug paraphernalia and conspiracy.

Never say you're holding it for someone or going to give it to someone.
TELL THEM YOU ARE JUNKIES.
Maybe you can get off with only a possession charge, do some rehab, and get out.

WTF? They have probable cause because of AIR FRESHENER and a RUBBER BAND? WTF?

all states require probable cause for that kind of search. although cops will violate this law and get away with it many times. "Cops" was on tv one time and they pulled a stoner type kid over (profiling) because of some very very very minor light wasnt like it should be. The cop claimed to smell marijuana although how it was sealed and the coffee added would have made that very hard. the cops probable cause came from the guy being "nervous". Total profilling, but hey, our rights dont mean anything if we cant stop evil mari-jew-wana. any cop going throught that much effort actually thinks its a "dangerous drug" and doesnt really listen to his own common sense. In most parts of Denver, you can cross the street smoking a joint right in front of a cop and they will not do anything. Denvers kind of laid back, and they should be, other crime is getting rampant because cops are inept, but at least they dont bust every guy on 16th street mall with a joint.

Yes all states require probable cause. Every single one of those things is not probable cause but "probable suspicion". The cop most likely asked him to search the car and the man consented.

once me and a friend were stopped while walking down the street smokin a cig (we were passin it back and forth cause we were both poor collage students at the time) he said he "smelled" marijuana, which he probably did cause we smoked a fatty before we left for the walk. when he told us bunny ears and didnt find anything he looked kinda pissed. although i doubt he "smelt" anything cause he was on the opposit side of the street.
