A man arrested for a traffic infraction was then charged with drug possession after cops found his stash in the back of the patrol car. Steven Perez was stopped at Perot Street at 1 a.m. on Thursday and charged with driving without a license, but ended up dropping two bags of marijuana and nine green pills—later identified as ecstasy—in the back of the car after he was taken in. Nine seems like a pretty odd number, so we can probably assume he was having a totally killer trip in the back of the car.
