As Trooper Warinner made contact with the driver, 36 year old Michael Points of Louisville, a strong odor of marijuana was detected coming from the vehicle. A vehicle search was conducted, resulting in digital scales, 3 small bags of marijuana, cash, and several small bags of suspected cocaine weighing approximately 3.7 grams were located.
