On Feb. 4, 6, and 8, Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) deputies conducting routine traffic stops seized multiple weapons, ammunition, and various narcotics, which resulted in several arrests.
“These types of encounters are becoming more and more frequent on traffic stops, where deputies are encountering illicit drugs and firearms in vehicles during lawful traffic stops,” said FCSO Sheriff Chuck Jenkins. “Individuals breaking the law by transporting illegal drugs are also illegally transporting loaded handguns and unregistered firearms. We charge the suspects accordingly, to show that we are rightfully enforcing the already existing gun laws.
“These arrests are a part of our full court press to interrupt the flow of illegal drugs and weapons coming into and through Frederick County which you can expect will continue.”
Feb. 4 Arrest
On Feb. 4, at approximately 11:50 p.m., a FCSO deputy stopped a Nissan Altima at the Sheetz located at 8408 Woodsboro Pike, Walkersville, Maryland, after observing suspicious driving behavior shortly before the stop.
After detecting a strong smell of marijuana emanating from the vehicle, the deputy, with assistance from another deputy who responded to the scene, conducted a search of the vehicle, and found a Glock-style Polymer 80 9-mm handgun fully loaded, multiple narcotics, and paraphernalia.
Deputies arrested Cristian Enrique Sanchez, age 19, of Frederick and his five charges include:
• Loaded handgun in the vehicle
• Firearm related to a drug traffic crime
• Firearm use – felony, violent crime
• Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDS) possession with intent to distribute
• CDS possession with intent to distribute: PCP/LSD/hallucinogens
Feb. 6 Arrest
On Feb. 6, at approximately 10:30 p.m., a FCSO deputy stopped a 1995 Chevrolet RV around Bowmans Farm Lane and Airport Drive for having plates registered to another vehicle. During the stop, the deputy noticed a front seat passenger attempting to hide something under the seat.
The deputy, along with an FCSO K9 and deputy, conducted a search of the vehicle and found a loaded .22 caliber handgun and 97 gel caps of suspected heroin/fentanyl and methamphetamine.
Deputies arrested the driver, David Edward Bauer, age 58, of Stephens City, Virginia, and the passenger, Steven Martin Dyer, age 41, of Western Pot, Maryland.
Along with numerous traffic charges, Bauer’s charges include:
• Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDS) – not cannabis (2 counts)
• CDS possession – large amount
• CDS possession with intent to distribute a narcotic (2 counts)
• Possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and heroin
Dyer’s charges include:
• Loaded handgun in vehicle
• Handgun in vehicle
• CDS possession – not cannabis
Feb. 8 Arrests
On Feb. 8, at approximately 1:25 a.m., a FCSO deputy stopped a Honda Pilot for failing to drive within a single lane. During initial contact with the drive, the deputy detected a strong odor of marijuana.
The deputy conducted a search and seized a .22-caliber short-barreled rifle with ammunition.
The deputy arrested Markus Juscelino Seubert, age 21, of Frederick, and charged him with an unregistered rifle/shotgun.
On Feb. 8, at approximately 1 a.m., a FCSO deputy stopped a Mitsubishi Mirage near Interstate 70 West and Route 340 for traveling over the speed limit. Due to the way the passenger reacted; the deputy requested a K9 scan of the vehicle and occupants.
The K9 alerted on the passenger, Travis Glennard Wells, age 38, of Hagerstown, Maryland, and found:
• 186.7 grams of suspected cocaine
• 12 capsules of suspected heroin/ fentanyl mix weighing 6.3 grams
• 16 plastic vials containing 12.3 grams of suspected crack cocaine
• 3 clear plastic bags containing 10.2 grams of suspected crack cocaine
• $937 in cash
Wells 12 charges include:
• CDS possession – not cannabis (5 counts)
• CDS equipment possession/distribution (2 counts)
• CDS possession with intent to distribute a narcotic (5 counts)
Deputies transported all suspects to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center for booking.
“The fact that people with criminal tendencies involved in criminal behavior are the ones violating the current gun laws, overwhelming support my position that more gun laws aren’t necessary and only punish and violate the rights of the law-abiding citizens and gun owners. It’s well past time that law makers realize this fact,” said Jenkins.

And we have the MGA proposing a new law that will make smelling marijuana no longer a probable cause for making a traffic stop.

To be fair..... If you drive where I frequently find myself (inside the beltway), and you have fresh air circulation on, you will frequently find "weed" wafting into your car from a car/cars ahead.

I’ve noticed that. It’s a bit concerning. Also, DC. Every street corner reeks of it.
It’s not my job to tell people what to do…but if I
don’t like cigarette smoke the same goes for pot. Keep it at home.

Exactly. That is precisely the argument that should be made to void the search. I get stunk up by weed from the cars in front of me. If I roll down the window to clear the air, without realizing there is a cop behind me, that could be construed as "suspicious behavior." If the stink from the vehicle in front of me doesn't clear, the cop can claim "I smell pot."
I've been sober over 40 years. I don't drink or use drugs. But I oppose prohibition.
NC got something right. They eliminated "i smelled pot" as a reason to pull over or search a vehicle.
We need 100% permitless carry (open or concealed) to eliminate "I thought I saw a gun" excuse too.

As it should be. The stuff today is so strong stinky that it is not possible for a cop to know what car it is coming from unless there is no other car on the road.

MOCO just takes a photo of their plate and sends the citation to the car owner it was stolen from.

That goodness FCSO leadership is not that lazy.

So then by your rationale, we should get rid of alcohol smell as a probable cause too

Lol would that 10/22 even cycle?

Really? I can follow traffic and find out which car it’s coming from, it’s usually not that hard

You are right.

Try it blindfolded though.

I think you miss the point that the arrest reports were all dangerous criminals committing felonies. If we get a law that says smelling pot is not RS, then those dangerous criminals will be killing people with their guns and drugs.

Sure it would. It's straight blowback. There is no "mechanism."

Scale says there's only 70mm or so of barrel left (less than 3 British Imperial distance units.) Mass of the bolt needs to be offset by backpressure - the duration of which is greatly diminshed. That's a recipe for short-stroking. Maybe the gunsmith drilled some lightning holes in the bolt to reduce its mass.

Just follow a Amazon truck...

 

[vanquish1]

So what is the next step for all of these gun charges? Will they be dropped like they are so many times and the perps are just back on the street to continue on business as usual?

Well hand sanitizer smells like alcohol too

Probably. After all, there are many cases where the officer merely says he smelled alcohol but the driver blew a 0.0. Too much room for falsifying probable cause.
When the driver blows a 0.0, cops still arrest for DUI claiming they observed drug behavior/symptoms.
