Marijuana Found During Traffic Stop


October 5, 2018

The Levy County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division stopped a Mustang on US Alt 27 between Bronson and Williston last night for an equipment violation. Our deputy approached the driver’s door to speak to the driver and could smell the overwhelming odor of marijuana. Apparently the driver was “nose blind” to smell in the car with him. Then, to add to his problems, the driver Travon Collins (12-66-94) of Cross City did not have a valid driver’s license.  He was previously delivered a notice by the Florida Division of Motor Vehicles his license was suspended.

Deputies arrested Mr. Collins and conducted a search of the vehicle. This search discovered slightly over three (3) pounds of marijuana packaged in one pound packages for delivery. Each package has the word “Jagoo” scribbled on it. 

Collins was taken to the Levy County Detention Facility, his car was towed, he was issued a couple of citations and charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana and driving with a suspended license. He is being held in lieu of a $32,000.00 bond.
