Car aroma tips police in pot bust


A Fredericksburg man's poor driving, along with something he claimed to have found on a basketball court, landed him in hot water this week, police said.

Spotsylvania Sheriff Howard Smith said Deputy Jason Clark was on Mine Road about 9:50 p.m. Tuesday when he saw a vehicle cross a double yellow line.

When Clark stopped the vehicle at the intersection of Mine and Lansdowne roads, he noticed a strong smell of air freshener coming from the car, Smith said.
