A short pursuit of Jacobs’ vehicle resulted in Jacobs being arrested and approximately an ounce of marijuana being located in Jacobs’ possession.

It was determined that a Jacobs was the paid caregiver of a passenger who was riding in Jacobs’ vehicle at the time of the pursuit and his (Jacobs’) arrest. As the investigation progressed, it was determined that Jacobs had stored marijuana inside the residence of the person whom he was providing care to.

A search of the residence resulted in the confiscation of a substantial quantity of marijuana, approximately (10) ounces, along with a set of digital scales.
