A Maryland man, who was trying to take his driver's test, was arrested on Monday after police allegedly found drugs, a loaded gun and $15,000 in his mother's car.
Reginald Wooding Jr, 22, was waiting in line to take his driver's exam at the MDOT Motor Vehicle Administration in Glen Burnie on Monday.
A driver’s license examiner became suspicious when she smelled what she thought was marijuana coming from the vehicle that was about to be used for the test, according to a statement released by the Maryland State Police.
She reported her concern to a state trooper who was on-duty at the agency.
The trooper then confirmed the strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and investigated.
During a search of the vehicle, officers said they found nearly a pound of marijuana, a scale, more than $15,000 in suspected drug-related money and a 9mm Glock handgun with a loaded 30-round magazine.
Officers then arrested Wooding at the scene before he could take his exam.
Wooding was hit with multiple charges, including engaging in a drug-trafficking crime while transporting a firearm, possessing a firearm during a drug-trafficking crime and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
