When the driver rolled down the passenger’s side window as Fite approached, the deputy reported smelling a marijuana odor emitting from the car. He had the man exit the vehicle. When he advised the man he would be conducting a probable cause search of the Mustang, Jamarie Latrell McIntyre admitted there was marijuana and a handgun in the car.
