WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Ill. -- Williamson County Police have arrested one for possession of cocaine after pulling over a vehicle for multiple traffic violations. 

The arrest took place last Saturday around 1:30 a.m. Passenger Antonio L.  McIntire was arrested on the scene. 

Also in the vehicle were the driver, Derek D. Woods, and three children in the backseat. 

When police approached the stopped vehicle, they began to smell Cannabis out of the passenger window. 

It was determined Woods had an active warrant on him but was out of its geographical bounds. McIntire, however, was searched because of Cannabis smell. The search yielded 28.37 grams of Cannabis on McIntire. 

Police searched the rest of the car and found multiple bags of cocaine.

McIntire was arrested on the scene for Possession of Adult Use Cannabis in a Motor Vehicle and Possession of Controlled Substance. Woods, meanwhile, was cited for an Improper Turn Signal and released. 

McIntire was sent to the Williamson County Jail.

Police ask citizens to report information on this or other investigations to the police at 618-997-6541 or the Crime Stoppers line at 800-414-TIPS.
