Narrative:

A traffic stop as a result of using a cell phone while driving, led to the arrest of two people on various drug charges.  At approximately 2:09PM on Friday, November 11th, officers from the Street Crimes Unit stopped a black Pontiac G6 driven by Ashley Everett (32) with Keyatak Flowers (42) in the passenger seat for a traffic violation.  During the officers contact with the driver and passenger, they detected the odor of marijuana.  Flowers also provided a false name to the investigating officers.  Officers then detained both subjects and found a spring assisted knife that was 3.5″ in length, a deadly weapon.
