When Anderson pulled over, he blocked the entrance to a subdivision. The deputy had to tell him several times to move the car and not block the subdivision.
As the deputy walked up to the car, he could smell marijuana. When he asked Anderson about it, he admitted to having smoked in the car earlier in the day.
The deputy searched the car and found 78.3 grams of crystal methamphetamine, $2,400 in cash and more.
