A Virginia man’s maneuver to avoid passing by a Metro police officer on I-40 this morning only drew attention to his Ford Mustang and wound up landing him in the Metro Jail on felony marijuana and weapon charges. Christopher Cameron, 20, of Bumpass, Virginia, was traveling east on I-40 when he got off the interstate at the McCrory Lane exit and immediately got back on. In doing so, Cameron avoided driving by Interdiction Officer Robert McIsaac who was parked on the shoulder of I-40. McIsaac took note of Cameron’s 2004 silver Mustang and stopped it for speeding a few miles away. Cameron appeared nervous, said he was traveling from Texas, but could not say where in Texas. When Cameron declined a request to search the Mustang for narcotics, Officer McIsaac’ s police dog partner, Paco, checked the car and strongly alerted to the trunk. Inside were 1.5 pounds of high-grade marijuana, marijuana wax, drug paraphernalia, an AR-15 rifle and ammunition. Cameron is charged with possessing marijuana for resale, gun possession in the commission of a felony drug crime, and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia. His bond is set at $305,000.
