What is the name of your state? CT
I was driving along a country road that accessed a highway at night during severe wind and rainy weather, I turned onto the entrance ramp and as I started to enter the highway I heard my cellphone ring, due to the severe rain and horrible driving conditions I pulled the car off the road maybe 100-200 yards after the entrance lane of the highway, I exited the car and opened the rear door and proceeded to look for my phone. I then went back to the front seat and looked for my phone, I then found it between the front and rear door and as I was getting back out of the front seat to grab the phone I was startled by a police officer getting out of the car and approaching me. He demanded me to get into the car and I said why, whats wrong? I was just looking for my phone. He then demanded me to get into the car and asked me for my license and registration, I was inquisitive to the officer as to why and he demanded it as I was off guard and felt it was unnecessary. After I handed it to him he said that he just observed me driving erratically and excessively fast on the entrance ramp, I began to advise the officer that I had been in the same spot for at least 3 minutes by now and denied his accusation as I explained to him that I had been looking for my cellphone during those past few minutes and do remember when I was bent over looking in the back seat I felt the force of a car blow past me about 1 minute ago.
The officer returned and asked me to exit the car, then he proceeded to tell me that I had an unpaid ticket and my license was suspended, which was over a year old that I was not aware of and proceeded to handcuff me, search me and put me into the cruiser. I observed him search the car for about 4-5 minutes and he returned to the cruiser with a small bag and sarcastically accused me of possessing drugs. I was completely shocked and dumbfounded. I told him that I do not nor have ever done drugs and don't know how it got there. He just walked away from me. About 5 minutes later another cruiser approached and a K-9 searched the car. When the tow truck arrived the officer entered the car and I questioned him about the overall situation and expressed to him my honesty of no knowledge or any awareness of this. It was a civil conversation and I was very nervous, confused and upset.
I was arrested for 21a-279(a) POSSESSION OF NARCOTICS - Felony, 21a-279(d) NONSTDNT-DRGS NR SCH/HSG/DY CR - Felony, 14-215 ILL OPN MV UNDER SUSPENSION - Misdemeanor
What a mess!!!!!!!!!!
The police report says that he observed me sideways on the entrance ramp.....
He found the drug underneath the bin in the center compartment......
The car is my girlfriends, she does not do drugs either.
She purchased the car used, 10 year old car about 9 months prior to this happening.
Please advise!
Thank you
