You should really take that new Georgia "hands-free" driving law seriously. One man in Jonesboro recently learned that the hard way, police said.
Channel 2 Action News reported that Ke’Juan McDay was pulled over Wednesday because an officer saw that he was holding his phone as if he were taking a selfie, according to police.
After he was pulled over on Tara Boulevard, however, the officer saw large bulges in McDay’s pockets and noticed it smelled like marijuana, Jonesboro police Chief Cliff Kelker told the news station.
From there, “it kind of blew up into something bigger” than a simple hands-free driving violation, Kelker said.
The officer searched the pickup truck and found marijuana, a gun, cash, oxycodone and drug-laced raspberry Jell-O, police said.
He was arrested and faces a number of drug and gun charges, Channel 2 reported.
