Three arraigned on drug charges
When the city police officer approached the 2020 Mazda that he stopped near Park Avenue and Grier Street about 6:20 p.m. Friday, the driver Justin Simmonds “was visibly shaking and taking quick shallow breaths,” according to an affidavit.
The officer had already been told by a dispatcher that Simmonds and another person were in a Mazda and reportedly “transporting a large amount of methamphetamines to the 1200 block of Park,” very close to where the vehicle stop took place.
While talking, Simmonds, 38, of Tampa Florida, also “stuttered in his speech, showing how nervous he was,” the officer wrote in the court document.

Man found high on K2 amid crying children and unconscious wife
Johnathan Pace, 36, of 684 Second Ave., tested positive for allegedly having K2 in his system when police responded to a call from his nine-year-old daughter Dec. 12, police said.
According to an affidavit filed by city officer Andrew Stevens, police found Pace conscious alongside his unconscious but breathing wife. Police said Pace had slow and thick speech, that he could not keep his balance and that his pupils were large. Pace was found to have possessed a bag of suspected K2 and rolling papers, and although Pace denied having smoked K2, a urine test given by probation tested positive for K2, according to police.
