Around 9:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 28, Greenbrier police reported they stopped 41-year-old Shamika Jones, a Nashville resident (pictured left) for her window tint, but then reported they noticed an odor of marijuana coming from her car.

Lt. Curt Allen with the Greenbrier Police Department told News 2 that the officer questioned Jones about the odor of marijuana, asking her if there was marijuana in the vehicle.
