A vehicle search was done, and there were 28 grams of marijuana located in the vehicle.
The driver, Amber Pittman, 41, of Knox, told officers that she didn't have insurance on the vehicle.

She was transported to Marshall County Jail, where she was booked in for possession of marijuana and no insurance with a prior conviction.
