Smoking pot while driving leads to meth bust


A Mendocino County sheriff's deputy pulled over a pickup truck on Meadowbrook Drive after smelling pot smoke coming from its cab at 3:20 p.m. on Oct. 5. The pickup had no plate on the front and an uncovered load in the back, say deputies.
The driver, Desmond Ray Spiker, 30, of Willits, admitted to smoking pot while driving and told the deputy he had a methamphetamine pipe under his seat, say police reports.
Deputies say they found the meth pipe plus a baggy containing about .5 grams of methamphetamine.
Spiker was arrested on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine.
