According to Coweta County Sheriff’s Office, it was a little after 5 p.m. Saturday when deputies noticed passengers in a tan 2001 Chevrolet S1 with Florida tags weren’t wearing seatbelts.

As deputies conducted the traffic stop on Highway 29 near Weldon Street, they told the passengers why they were pulled over.

Coweta officials said the driver, Derrick Rosenburry, and passengers Donna Nguyen and Jennifer Snider, told deputies they had taken off their seatbelts while being stopped.

All three got out of the car and allowed deputies to search the vehicle, while Snider reportedly grabbed a tan purse she claimed was hers and held on to it.

As deputies searched the car, they found a small baggy with a green leafy substance with a glass smoking pipe with burnt green and brown residue. The report states that Rosenburry spontaneously blurted that the baggy contained marijuana and that it was his, along with the pipe.

When all three suspects were asked if they owned any of the items, deputies said they all denied ownership.

While being handcuffed deputies said Snider spontaneously uttered that the substance in her purse was “sugar” given to her by a “Godly man”.
