A Grambling State University student was arrested earlier this month after state police found marijuana in his bag.
Kyzun S. Clay, 19, of Baldwin, Louisiana, was arrested October 18 when Louisiana State Police smelled marijuana on him and found two large bags of marijuana in a bag he was carrying.
The trooper said he was walking through a crowd in front of the GSU bookstore when he smelled marijuana coming from Clay. The trooper said Clay then leaned against the building and he walked upwind of Clay and no longer smelled the marijuana. When he walked downwind of Clay, he began to smell the marijuana again.
Clay was approached and asked what was in the bag and he responded, “I’ll show you.” At that point, the black bag was taken and searched and approximately 80 grams of marijuana were found.
Clay had $503 cash in his pocket. After he was handcuffed, Clay was found to have two more bags of marijuana totaling about 21 grams. When asked why he had so much marijuana on him, Clay said he and his boys smoke a lot.
Clay was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center by GSU Police for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a controlled substance in a drug free zone. Bail was set at $40,000.
