Marshall County Police located a “large” amount of suspected marijuana in the vehicle on Wednesday, September 4th.
At approximately 3:05 a.m., Marshall County Central Dispatch received a call about a possibly impaired or sleepy driver on U.S. 31.
Officer Wozniak located the vehicle on U.S. 31 at 9A Road and, after observing traffic infractions, conducted a stop near 11th Road on the white 2001 Ford Ranger.
During the traffic stop, the officer detected the odor of marijuana. The driver, 33-year-old Matthew W. Crawford of Grand Rapids, completed a standardized field sobriety test and passed. A probable cause search of the vehicle resulted in the findings of a large amount of suspected marijuana.
Crawford was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail, where he was booked for possession of marijuana.

They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings, entitled to be represented by counsel, and entitled to a trial by jury, at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
