In body camera footage from the incident, officers are seen questioning the driver about the smell.
“How much weed is in the car,” one officer asked. “Either you burned it, or you got raw marijuana.”
“I haven’t smoked. There’s none,” the driver said. “I have air freshener in here I spray it, so maybe that’s what you guys smelled. I don’t smoke.”
