Logs: Police Find Stash in Trunk and Mother Arrested for Driving Drunk with Daughter

East Hampton Town and Village Police Departments released the following reports on Monday.

'Weed' Hidden in the Trunk

Eric J. Ebanks, 20, of East Hampton, was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana after police reportedly found some hidden in his spare tire well in the trunk of his car on Wednesday afternoon.

Village police had pulled him over in the parking lot because his Nissan Altima's windows were so darkly tinted. Ebanks was described as being anxious and nervous as police questioned him about the smell of marijuana coming from his car. "Operator said he smokes weed, but had not smoked at all today, and that the smell was in the vehicle from a past time smoking," the police report said.

Police said the obtained permission to search the passenger compartment, and while doing so, Ebanks became more nervous, once yelling, there was no marijuana in the car, that the police were harassing him, and that if it were anywhere it would be in the trunk, police said. Police detained him for safety reasons, they said, and continued the search.

They said they found $260 in cash, a marijuana grinder, a pack of rolling papers, and a bag of cigar contents. Police searched the trunk and a plastic bag containing what appeared to be a large amount of marijuana in the spare tire well.

Ebanks was charged with fourth-degree possession of marijuana and having non-transparent windows. He was released on $500 bail and an appearance ticket for justice court.

Defandant Says He Purchased Stolen Cellphone
