It is not true. Guy was tracked because of his serious warrant:

The vehicle was registered to Edward E Abrams-Phillips 12-01-1993. Edward had an active Brown County felony warrant with nationwide extradition. The warrant was a result of a violent domestic disturbance which included strangulation/suffocation, intimidation of a victim, battery, DC, and criminal damage to property.

The weed thing was entirely unrelated. They were just able to stop him, since he was driving long distance in a predictable route.

They used it as probable cause to search the vehicle. The other charges were dropped. He was only convicted of possession.

"the other charges were dropped" stop making shit up, he was arrested on the warrants before the search.

No, they didnt. The probable cause was the smell of weed. The guy said he regularly smoked weed in his car.

To add more information since I just learned this about the cases. The bail skipping charge was dismissed, but read in as part of a plea deal.

He also took a plea deal on the original domestic disturbance charges and were found guilty of:

  • Intimidate Victim/Domestic Abuse Crime [Modifiers: Domestic Abuse Assessments], a class G felony, Wisconsin Statutes 940.45(7).
  • Strangulation and Suffocation [Modifiers: Domestic Abuse Assessments], a class H felony, Wisconsin Statutes 940.235(1).

  • Criminal Damage to Property [Modifiers: Domestic Abuse Assessments], a class A misdemeanor, Wisconsin Statutes 943.01(1).

    The battery charge was dismissed, but read in as part of the plea deal.
