Damond De-Angelo Cobb Jr. , 21,  was  booked into the Vigo County Jail, where he is charged with dealing marijuana and possession of marijuana - both felonies. 

Indiana State Police Trooper Michael Organ stopped the southbound passenger car on S. Seventh Street near Washington Street around 8:30 p.m.

Sgt. Joe Watts explained that the trooper searched the vehicle after talking with the driver ---  finding multiple bags of  marijuana  stored in the vehicle’s trunk after seeing trace amounts of  the substance in the passenger compartment.​

"The total weight of the 20 bags of marijuana was approximately 1 ¼ pound," he said.

Cobb's passenger was not charged and was released from the scene.
