Man detained for marijuana possession
On Sept. 11, the Crawford County K-9 Unit initiated a traffic stop on a 1991 Toyota pick-up in the town of Seneca. Deputies made contact with the operator, Michael P. Baures, 52, Seneca.
Baures told deputies he had ingested marijuana earlier in the evening and showed signs of marijuana use, which led to further investigation into his impaired driving. K-9 Breck gave a positive alert to the presence of a controlled substance odor. Marijuana and paraphernalia were found on Baures.
Baures was arrested and charged with operating a motor vehicle with a restricted controlled substance (first offense), possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, operating a vehicle without insurance and operating a vehicle without a seat belt.
