MOULTRIE —
Weekend traffic stops resulted in a number of arrests for the police, including one that resulted in drug charges for the passenger in a car stopped for a broken tail light.
An officer recognized Jermaine Jumir Robinson, 17, as the person identified during an earlier briefing as having outstanding warrants and followed the Nissan Sentra in which he was riding.
A traffic stop was made at about 3 p.m. in the 900 block of Fourth Avenue Northeast and Robinson, the passenger, was asked to get out.
Robinson identified himself as Jermain Roberts, police said, and gave a birth date of Dec.. 25, 1993.
A check of that name turned up no warrants, but when an officer searched Robinson he found a plastic bag containing 12 smaller bags of suspected marijuana.
Robinson was arrested and police later confirmed his identity and correct date of birth as Oct. 25, 1993.
Robinson, of 128 Tallokas Circle, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and giving a false name or date of birth. He also was charged with battery on the outstanding warrant.
The driver was issued a citation.
