According to a report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office, the sheriff’s department and the Georgia State Patrol were conducting a driver’s license check and safety checkpoint last week near Ridgeway Road in Trion, when a man pulled up and deputies smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.  The man admitted to having a small amount of marijuana and handed it over to deputies.  While searching the vehicle, another small bag of marijuana was found, along with an open container of alcohol.  The beer bottle was cold to the touch, according to the report from the sheriff’s office, and the man said he had just purchased the beer.  A state trooper performed a field sobriety test which the driver passed.  After determining that the driver was not impaired, the deputy issued a citation to Robert Leitner for an open container of alcohol and allowed him to leave.
