WHEN: Thursday, March 20, 2008
LOCATION: State Road 29, Golden Gate Estates
SUSPECT: Miguel A. Alban, 21, of Boynton Beach
CHARGE: Possession of marijuana over 20 grams
SUMMARY: Investigators from the Collier County Sheriff’s Office’s vice narcotics interdiction unit stopped a 2005 Lincoln LS that was traveling south on SR 29 near Oil Well Road around 9:45 p.m. for having illegal window tint.
While investigators were issuing the driver, Alban, a written warning for the illegal tint, they noticed several pieces of marijuana on the rear floorboard of the Lincoln. Alban acted extremely nervous and his hands were shaking as he spoke to investigators.
