I think you dropped something, Quinn Joseph Holmay told the Winona County sheriff’s deputy early Saturday morning.

Holmay handed the deputy a small plastic bag filled with white powder.

While Holmay waited near his vehicle, the deputy got back in his squad car, replaying the onboard video to make sure he was correct: Holmay indeed just handed his drugs to the deputy.

According to police, the video showed it clearly — a plastic bag falling from Holmay’s pocket. The video also showed Holmay momentarily covering the plastic bag with his foot. The deputy hadn’t noticed the bag until Holmay picked it up and gave it to him.

Originally, the deputy had stopped Holmay near the Huff Street traffic light on Hwy. 61 because his blue Jeep had failed to signal for a lane change.

According to the reports, Holmay told the deputy the turn signal didn’t work because of damage from an accident. Holmay then asked to get out of the vehicle to show the deputy something. Holmay walked back around the vehicle to show the deputy damage to the Jeep and asked if the deputy could help open the rear cargo hatch. As they looked at the car, Holmay doubled back. It was then that Holmay dropped the bag.
