Green stuff: At 11 p.m., an officer driving west on East North Bend Way saw a blue Chevy Camaro driving without headlights. Pulling the car over, the officer smelled the strong odor of unburned marijuana from the vehicle. He asked the man at the wheel if he had any marijuana. The driver said no. He asked again, and the female passenger pulled out a plastic bag with green vegetable matter. The officer placed both the driver and passenger in custody. Searching the car, the officer found a clear bag in the chest pocket of the man’s jacket. The man said there was more marijuana in the woman’s purse. In the purse, he found an unlabeled pill bottle with what appeared to be marijuana inside, plus a glass smoking device. Both the man and woman said they had smoked 10 to 20 minutes ago.

The officer stopped the vehicle on Bendigo Boulevard at Southeast Park Street. The driver, a 22-year-old man, said he did not have a license because it was suspended for unpaid tickets.

Another bad license: At 8:40 p.m., an officer driving east on Railroad Avenue noticed a 1993 Ford Taurus traveling a few cars ahead.

The officer stopped the vehicle at an intersection and asked the driver why he was driving after being arrested. The driver responded that he had just gotten out of the Issaquah Jail and needed a ride home. He knew he was not supposed to drive, but thought the one time would be fine. The man was arrested once again and taken back to the Issaquah Jail to be booked.

Still another bad license: At 4 p.m., an officer noticed a white 1997 Honda Civic traveling north in the 8300 block of Falls Avenue.
