A 73-year-old man with a "spotless driving record" was about to be let off with a warning for driving without his headlights on. Instead, he ended up getting arrested and booked into jail on charges of possessing narcotics.
A routine traffic stop ended in an unexpected drug charge.
On December 1st, Seattle Police Officer Nic Abts-Olsen noticed a silver Toyota drive past with its headlights off.
According to the Seattle Police Department's blotter, "After pulling over the 73-year-old man, Officer Abts-Olsen checked his license and registration, and walked back to the Toyota, where he saw the driver portioning out a scoop of cocaine from a small glass vial."
