Cassagnol was ordered out of his car and officers detected a "strong odor of marijuana emitting from his person."

Officers said Cassagnol acknowledged he was carrying marijuana in his pants, and they discovered a baggie containing about .2 ounces of cannabis near his groin.

Police said they also found a frankincense and myrrh incense spray in the car known by the brand name, "Blunt Block." It is marketed as a means to mask the odor of marijuana smoke.
