The passenger of the vehicle surrendered immediately and was not arrested but was cited instead. Found inside the vehicle were mushrooms, THC edibles, alcohol, and drug paraphernalia. The driver did not possess a valid license and faced multiple charges including reckless driving, evading arrest, and possession-related offenses.
