Officers searching a suspect's car found almost $6,000 hidden in a sock in the trunk, money the suspect allegedly offered to share. Antonio Marcius Williams, 29, of Bastrop, was booked with public bribery, simple possession of marijuana and illegal carrying of a weapon.
Sterlington police officers stopped Williams's car on U.S. 165 Wednesday because the window tint was too dark, according to the report.
The officers saw a green leafy substance on Williams's shirt and they smelled marijuana; Williams told the officer he had just smoked marijuana a couple of hours previously, the report stated.
Officers found $391 in his pants pocket and a loaded .357-caliber Magnum in the front left fender, according to the report.
When officers searched the trunk, they found a sock hidden under the carpet with $5,965 rolled up inside, the report stated.
The report stated Williams told one of the officers he would give him $2,000 and another $300 later if the officer would give him his money back.
Williams was booked into Ouachita Correctional Center.
Mankind has created spectacular works of art, engineered incredibly tall buildings, designed impressive supercomputers, lived in outerspace, discovered cures for nasty diseases. As a whole, nothing can compare to human intelligence, but sometimes, humans think bribery will get you out of a 'dark' situation.
