Deputies arrested a Tampa man and recovered 8 to 10 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop on Interstate 75 on Thursday.Collin Parkes, 36, was charged with possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to sell, manufacture or deliver.
Reports say deputies stopped Parkes at the 98 mile marker shortly after 3 p.m. because his car windows were tinted darker than Florida law allows. Parkes appeared nervous, according to reports.
A CCSO dog trained to detect narcotics was escorted around the outside of Parkes’ car and alerted, indicating that there were drugs inside. Reports said deputies found a box in the trunk containing marijuana with a street value of about $10,000.
