But the moment Officer Cervantes reaches the window, the strong smell of fresh cannabis fills the air. The driver, identified as 29-year-old Tyrell Sumlin, has a suspended registration. Just as Officer Cervantes routinely searches the car, he freezes what he sees inside. >> What's up? What's up, bro? What's up, bro? What's up?

Consequently, he faced seven charges, including illegal gun possession, resisting an officer with injury, and drug possession.
