A Shreveport woman was arrested over the weekend after she was found with synthetic marijuana and a large amount of cash.

Around midnight on Saturday, Sheriff’s Deputy Marcus Jeansonne and his K-9 partner Chuck stopped a 2018 Acura for speeding on Dean Road south of Bert Kouns. Jeansonne smelled a strong odor of marijuana and conducted a search of the vehicle. During the search, he recovered 81 grams of synthetic marijuana and $9,300 in cash. Synthetic marijuana can have dangerous and unpredictable health effects including death, according to officials.
