A Fruitland Park man was arrested after officers found fentanyl and a glass pipe in his vehicle during a traffic stop.
Officers on patrol observed 43-year-old Markus Antwon Roshell driving a blue Ford Explorer eastbound on Harlem Avenue around 6:50 p.m. Wednesday, according to an arrest report from the Leesburg Police Department. The vehicle’s window tint appeared below the legal limit, so the officers conducted a traffic stop after the vehicle pulled into a driveway on Tuskegee Street.
They then tested the window tint, confirming it was too dark at 9%. When questioned, Roshell stated that he and the occupants were coming from a nearby laundromat. He did not know anyone who lived at the home he pulled into, and no one inside the car knew who lived there, the report said.
An officer next asked if there were any narcotics or weapons within the vehicle, which Roshell denied. But another officer noticed a clear baggie shoved into the vehicle’s sunroof. A K-9 unit with the Fruitland Park Police Department subsequently responded to the scene and alerted to the odor of narcotics, the report said…
