29-year-old Clarence Wilson had drugs concealed in his luggage at the Nashville International Airport on July 11th. Detective Swisher deployed his narcotics detection K-9, Peggy, on a run of luggage from Spirit Flight 119. Peggy then gave a positive indication to a grey hard-sided “SWISS” suitcase with the tag name “WILSON/CLARENCE.” Once the bag was claimed, investigators approached Wilson, who consented to a search of his bag. During the search, officers discovered he had 14 vacuum-sealed bundles of marijuana, wrapped in numerous sweatshirts inside a large blanket with scented car fresheners, totaling 8,164.65 grams. When officers asked Wilson for his identification, he attempted to flee, disregarding their commands to stop. Officers also searched Wilson’s carry-on bag, where they found six 1-gram containers of THC wax and 2.5 28-gram packages of marijuana. Wilson was then taken into custody for evading arrest and possession with intent.
Clarence Wilson was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 11th, charged with evading arrest and possession with intent to sell. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $4,500.
