24-year-old Lakota Hall was caught with 8 pounds of marijuana while at the Nashville International Airport on July 10th. Officers were investigating a flight from Los Angeles, California, scheduled to arrive in Nashville. When officers arrived, they deployed their narcotics-detecting K-9, Peggy, to sniff luggage. During the deployment, Peggy showed a change in behavior to a purple suitcase that displayed Hall’s name. Officers approached Hall, identified him, and asked if the bag was his. Once Hall admitted the bag was his, he consented to a bag search, telling officers to “open it up.” Upon searching Hall’s bag, officers located seven vacuum-sealed bags that contained marijuana. Also in the suitcase was another vacuum-sealed bag that contained eight 1-gram jars of marijuana, two 80-gram packages of THC edibles, one 50-gram package of edibles containing a total of 100 mg of THC, and five pre-rolled joints. The total weight of the marijuana was eight pounds. Hall was then detained and taken into custody for possession with intent to sell.
