Police Officer Justin Storm was patrolling on Legendary Drive between Lowe’s and the backside of the Commons when John and Billy were walking in the parking lot. Officer Storm became suspicious and made an investigatory stop. John says the officer asked them what they were doing, and John told him he lived nearby and they were walking home from the theater. Officer Storm then frisked both boys, finding a bag of a pills in John’s front pants pocket. The pills field tested positive as a controlled substance. John was then arrested.
