We're searching the car. Therefore, you got to step away from the vehicle. All right. Now, it's going to be ultimately up to him whether we ended up arresting you or not.

All right. Thank you. All right. Just hang time for me. Okay. >> What began as a routine check on a suspicious vehicle quickly changed once officers noticed something else. The woman admitted she had been sleeping in the motel parking lot because she couldn't afford a room that night. But as they spoke with her, officers said they could smell marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. From that point forward, the encounter shifted from checking on someone's welfare to determining whether they had legal grounds to search the car. >> Think we check the trunk yet? Do it. There you go. More bags. >> Wet became very hot. I got her handcuffs back. >> Yeah. Oh man. >> Listen, do you think do you take any pills? >> Yeah, they're weight gain pills. >> Okay.

That's what we're trying to figure out. >> All right. She's going to go to jail for the possession of marijuana and then resisting officer without violence. Okay. >> No. >> Am I being arrested? Yes, you've been arrested for possession of marijuana and then for assisting officer without violence. Okay. >> So, is there anything else you need? >> Can I talk to my sister? >> No. >> I just need her to make a call. Can I talk to my sister? >> Or can I talk to my baby at least? Can I see my daughter for y'all? >> I can roll down the window for you. I can do that for you. But I No more attitude. Okay. >> I don't have an attitude. I'm tired. >> Okay. By this stage, the original reason for the encounter was no longer the biggest issue. According to the officers, the arrest wasn't based simply on finding someone asleep in a parking lot. They explained that her refusal to comply with instructions during the vehicle search, combined with the evidence they later discovered, changed the direction of the investigation. What began as a brief contact in a motel parking lot, ultimately resulted in charges for marijuana possession and resisting an officer without violence.
