Man wanted on marijuana charges caught

STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) — Sgt. Jason Kearney hopes all his arrests will be this easy.

 

As Kearney was sitting in his marked patrol car Thursday, waiting for his colleagues to join him for lunch, a man named Ron Stone asked him for a ride.

 

The Bulloch County deputy agreed to take Stone to his car, but first he insisted on searching Stone for weapons, said Sheriff Lynn Anderson.

 

"Stone told Sergeant Kearney to go ahead," Anderson said.

 

Kearney didn't find a gun — but he said he did find two small bags of pot.

 

Stone, 30, told the uniformed officer he had spent the night at a friend's house and the marijuana was not his, police said.

 

Instead of a ride to his car, Stone got a ride to the Bulloch County Jail, where police later learned he was wanted in another county on an outstanding warrant for marijuana possession with intent to distribute.
