Police Pull Gun Over 2 Grams of Marijuana

Police officers pulled their guns on a man who they say attempted to flee questioning in front of a gas station. Larome J.Hicks, 27, of Chicago, stopped his car in front of a Circle K gas pump and “stayed there a while, looking around,” police said. When they approached Hicks to talk, police smelled marijuana and asked Hicks to exit the car. He started to drive away but stopped once officers ordered him out at gunpoint, police said.

He was charged with possession of marijuana, having a suspended license and driving without insurance. Under his seat, police found 2.1 grams of marijuana, police said.
