While asking the driver for his license and registration, Officer Chasteen smelled a strong smell of what he believed to be marijuana. He asked the driver, later identified as Estaban Duenas, 25 of Port Arthur, Texas, if he had any marijuana in his possession. Duenas stated to Officer Chasteen that he had a couple of roached in the ashtray that they had just finished smoking. After Duenas came back clear of any warrants, Officer Chasteen asked if he could search the vehicle. Duenas hesitated before telling the officer that there was a little bit more marijuana under the front passenger seat.
