Deputy Martin conducted a search of the vehicle and the occupants. Martin recovered a bag containing two ounces of marijuana, a marijuana blunt and a marijuana grinder. As a result, Martin arrested Mack Ray Jennette, age 39 of Bridgewood Square in Belhaven, and charged him with Possession With Intent to Sell and Deliver Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Jennette was held in the Beaufort County Detention Center on a $24,000.00 secured bond issued by Magistrate Donald Sadler.
