By the time officers arrived, O’Connor and the woman were pulling out of the restaurant parking lot. Police noticed her car had a tag light out and stopped the vehicle.

They found a small bag of marijuana and drug paraphernalia underneath the passenger seat where O’Connor was sitting.

The woman said she did not know the drugs were in the car. She was not arrested.
