Following the man's arrest fordriv- ing on a suspended license, the officer asked for permission to search the car. He found a cigarette pack con- taining onecigarette and one mari- juana joint on the dashboard. He also discovered two more small baggs of marijuana and some wrap- ping papers. The man was arrested some more. -- Winter Springs police re- ceived a call on Jan. 15 claiming that three men and a woman had entered the 7-11 store on Hwy. 17- 92 and that the woman had slipped a pack of cigarettes into herjacket and left without paying for them.
