A Cave Junction-area man was arrested Friday morning, Jan. 8 during a traffic stop on Hwy. 101 near Coos Bay after he was found in possession of 4 pounds of marijuana, Oregon State Police reported.
An OSP trooper stopped a 1983 Honda Civic four-door station wagon driven by Elusha Ferdon, 26, from Cave Junction, for traveling 43 mph in a 20 mph school zone on Hwy. 101 near milepost 239. OSP said that the trooper noted an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.
Ferdon was said to have shown signs of impairment and admitted to using marijuana before the traffic stop, OSP said.
Subsequent investigation led to the discovery of four 1-pound vacuum sealed bags of marijuana in a duffel bag inside the vehicle. Additional small amounts of marijuana and other evidence also were seized, said OSP.
Ferdon was arrested and lodged in Coos County Jail on charges of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, recklessly endangering, and driving under the influence of an intoxicant/drugs.
