Two people were charged with marijuana possession after strange behavior at a traffic stop led an officer to continue pursuit.

Police charged Cameron Garrett Lefear, 22, and Sashique Andrica Dillon, 22, both of the 700 block of West Monroe Street, each with possession of a marijuana with the intent to sell and deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors.

A Salisbury Police officer got behind a red vehicle with a Michigan license plate. The driver of the suddenly pulled in front a house on Vance Avenue.

The driver, later identified as Lefear, got out of the vehicle, knocked on the door and motioned for the passenger to get out as well. The passenger, later identified as Dillon, got out of the car. Both then got back into the car. The officer circled around the block and pulled in behind the vehicle.

The driver stepped from the vehicle with his hands up and walked quickly toward the officer, a report said.

The officer instructed Lefear to get back inside the car, but in doing so the officer could smell marijuana coming from the vehicle. Lefear got back inside and took off.

He stopped a short time later then refused to get out when the officer instructed him.

The officer was able to search the vehicle and found marijuana flakes and $320 on Lefear. The officer also found a small plastic sandwich bag with one gram of marijuana inside and a water bottle with a plastic bag inside that contained a marijuana cigarette. The officer also found an iPhone box with cigarillos and loose tobacco.

A report said at the same time the officer was making the traffic stop, an elderly woman who lived at the Vance Avenue address said people were knocking on her door, but she didn’t know them and was worried.

Lefear has since been released from the Rowan County Detention Center under a $5,000 secured bond and Dillon remains in the county jail under a $3,000 secured bond.
