was arrested this week in Florida on suspicion of being a drug dealer.
Jamal Parris, 24, was driving a white 2011 BMW in Miami Beach Tuesday evening, when a Florida Highway Patrol officer noticed that it had no
tags.
Sgt. Seth Dubinsky stopped the car. When he approached it, he smelled
marijuana, he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday.
Dubinsky searched the car and said he found 181 grams of marijuana,
which is worth about $1,000 on the street. He said he also found 50
clear plastic baggies and a Taurus semiautomatic handgun. He said Parris
also was carrying $1,250 in cash.
The gear was “indicative of a drug dealer,” Dubinsky said. Parris was
arrested and jailed. He was charged with two felony counts: possession
of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm while
committing a felony. He also was charged with operating a motor vehicle
with no registration, a misdemeanor. It was unclear late Thursday
whether he was still in custody.
