A northwest Florida man was arrested Friday morning after police said he exited his vehicle with marijuana on his shirt.

Kyle Evans Jeansonne, 22, was pulled over by police at 4 a.m. after officers were alerted that he had illegal narcotics in his possession, the Northwest Florida Daily News reports. When Jeansonne stepped out of the vehicle, he had a leafy substance stuck on his shirt, which police tested and found was marijuana.

Police said Jeansonne attempted to hide a “Batman bag” under his seat and when asked by police to bring it out, the man told them “it was something bad,” which is why he was trying to hide it. Inside the bag were a scale and 20 Xanax pills, police said.

The 22-year-old was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and possession of narcotic equipment.
