A Las Vegas, Nevada, man was arrested on the Grambling State University campus Tuesday with marijuana and a large amount of cash.
Two GSU police officers were conducting a walkthrough of the student union area during a school function when they smelled the strong odor of marijuana on an individual. Chuck Holliday, 22, was walking with an open backpack positioned in front of him. Holliday was stopped and admitted he had a small amount of marijuana but “could not be arrested.”
Officers took Holliday into custody and searched the bag, finding plastic bags of marijuana, digital scales, and a box of sandwich bags. Holiday had cash in the backpack and in his pants pocket totaling $9,370.
Holliday was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia. Bail was set at $40,000.
