JONES COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
Luck was not with a Lizella man who was stopped at a safety check by officers with the Jones County Sheriff’s Office.
The result of the traffic stop was the Dec. 17 arrest of Mussaab Humayun on charges of possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, possession of schedule four substances with the intent to distribute, possession of a schedule two controlled substance and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
A report of the incident leading to the arrest by Deputy Nolan Corley stated that an approved road safety check led by JCSO Sgt. Kasey Carr was underway in the area of Highway 49 and Bowen Hill Road when he made contact with Humayun. The report shows the time of the stop at close to midnight. Corley said Humayun was driving a black Nissan and told the officer he did not have his license on him. The deputy noted that the car had a cracked windshield, and he could smell marijuana coming from inside the car.
Humayun was asked to pull to the side of the road.
Corley said three other passengers were in the car. The deputy said he asked the driver to get out of the car, and Carr had the three passengers to exit the vehicle.
Corley said Humayun was patted down and informed there would be a probable cause search of the vehicle. Carr and Deputy Kevin Harden began the search, and Corley said he asked Humayun if there was anything in the vehicle.
The driver said there was some marijuana under the radio and more in the trunk. Corley said several pills were found in the car, a large flask containing marijuana, sandwich bags, a digital scale and Smith and Wesson handgun.
The deputy said Humayun was taken into custody and the vehicle was turned over to a wrecker service.
Humayun was in Jones County Superior Court Dec. 22 seeking bond.
Assistant District Attorney Cara Fiore told the court about the Dec.
17 arrest. She said the state felt Humayun was a risk to commit another felony and was opposed to bond.
Humayun was represented by public defender Tom O’Donnell, who said his client was on a Peach County bond at the time of the arrest.
He asked for a reasonable bond and suggested his client could be confined to going to work and home.
“When he was caught, he admitted everything,” O’Donnell said.
Superior Court Judge Terry Massey presided over the bond hearing.
After listening to attorney’s statements, he denied bond.
“My concern is you are a significant risk to commit a felony, and a threat to the community,” he said.
