Keil stopped in the Bank of America parking lot at 821 SE 5th Ave. Police say the car smelled strongly of burned marijuana, and Keil, who carried a Pennsylvania driver’s license, told officers he didn’t have a medical marijuana card. He then pulled a yellow vape from his pocket, handed it over and confirmed it held liquid THC, according to the probable cause affidavit.
A search turned up a white “Green Dragon” paper bag on the front passenger floorboard. Inside was a bag of marijuana labeled at 19.2 percent THC, plus three cartridges of liquid THC with labels reading 86.3, 84.4 and 69.6 percent. Every label carried another person’s name. After being read his Miranda rights, police say Keil admitted he knew about the products and said he was using his girlfriend’s THC for personal use. The marijuana weighed 14.19 grams and tested positive for THC.
