Joe Negrete was stopped by Kyle police in April for rolling through a stop sign on Sunrise Drive near Bebee Road, just down the street from his home. He said he apologized to the officer, saying he was in a hurry and that it would not happen again.
He said the officer then asked if he had anything in his truck. On his passenger seat was a sunglasses case with an ounce of marijuana. Negrete said he did not try to hide it and willingly surrendered the marijuana to the officer.
He said the officer took him home, searched his house for other drugs and found nothing, and cited him for possession without taking him to jail.
