On the evening of January 3, 2017 Deputy A.I. Assur made two separate arrests involving drug possession. Later in the evening at approximately 9:31 p.m. Deputy Assur was traveling south in the middle lane on Interstate 95 while a Virginia State Trooper was a few car lengths ahead in the left lane of travel. Deputy Assur observed a 2007 silver Buick unnecessarily braking as the State Police vehicle moved passed. The Buick then slowed to a speed of 45 MPH. The deputy ran the tag and it returned to a man who was wanted in Charlottesville. Deputy Assur initiated a traffic stop during which he noticed the odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. A search of the subject and vehicle revealed 11 ounces of marijuana. Due to the large quantity of illegal drugs the vehicle was seized. Rahsaan Jamar Watkins, age 39 of Charlottesville, Virginia, was charged with Manufacture, Sale and Possession of Controlled Substances. He was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail on no bond. |
