A traffic stop in Summerville resulted in two people being arrested after officers discovered marijuana, a firearm, and an open container of alcohol in a vehicle.

According to a Summerville Police Department incident report, Officer Aaron Wentz conducted a traffic stop on March 6, 2026, after observing a vehicle driving on Commerce Street with a tinted front windshield. The vehicle pulled into the driveway behind First National Bank on Economy Street, where the stop was completed.

The driver was identified as 24-year-old Sazoun Grayer, who provided his driver’s license during the stop. While speaking with him, the officer reported smelling the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. A female passenger, identified as 17-year-old Anita Cochran, was also in the back seat.

Police requested assistance from Chief B. Ozment, who also reported detecting the odor of marijuana. Officers informed the driver they would be conducting a probable cause search of the vehicle.

According to the report, the driver shifted the vehicle into drive, but officers quickly reached into the vehicle and placed it back into park before removing him from the car and placing him in handcuffs.

During a search of the vehicle, officers reported locating a firearm under the driver’s seat, as well as marijuana and drug paraphernalia. An open bottle of vodka was also found on the back passenger floorboard.

While officers were speaking with both individuals, police say Ms. Cochran began to fight with officers when they attempted to place her in handcuffs. She was taken to the ground and restrained.

Both Mr. Grayer and Ms. Cochran were transported to the Chattooga County Jail, and the vehicle was later turned over to Gary’s Towing.

Police say the marijuana and firearm were seized as evidence, and the contents of the vodka bottle were poured out after being photographed.
