Taylor Man Charged with Drug Possession and DUI.

When a police officer stops a vehicle for a traffic or speeding violation, it is important for the driver to remain calm and respectful to the officer. Suspicious driving activity or behavior of the driver or passengers may give the officer probable cause to search the vehicle. Although the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures, the motor vehicle has been a particular area of concern regarding the constitutionality of the officer's search and regarding the requirements for probable cause.

The Scranton Times-Tribune reports that a Taylor man was charged with a DUI and several drug-possession counts after a police officer pulled him over in the 100 block of Oak Street for swerving into oncoming traffic. The man had over 1.5 ounces of heroin inside his vehicle. The preliminary hearing is set for Thursday.
