Officer Helps Stranded Motorist, Then Arrests Him
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- A Portsmouth police officer helped a stranded motorist get his car started, then arrested the driver for marijuana the officer said he found in the car.
Patrick Kimball, 21, of Eliot, Maine, pleaded guilty on Monday to two misdemeanor counts of drug possession. Prosecutors said that in November, an officer helped Kimball pour gas into his car, then got in and helped start it up.
While in the car, the officer said he saw a bag of marijuana in plain view. Police said several more bags were found in a later search of the car and of Kimball.
Prosecutors asked for a one-year jail sentence with six months suspended. A sentencing hearing will be held in one month.
