The Deputy conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle as it pulled onto the Sheetz parking lot, Greene Street, Cumberland, MD. Upon contacting the operator Ronald Clagget, 53,  and passengers Keith Elliott Jones, 21 and a 23 year old female the Deputy could smell the odor of Marijuana coming from the interior of the vehicle.  After the arrival of additional units from the Sheriff's Office, and Cumberland City Police a search of the vehicle was conducted.
