The officer approached the passenger side of the car and immediately recognized the smell of marijuana, the report said. Golden was in the driver's seat, Claiborne in the passenger's seat, and Noil and Niles were seated in the back, the report stated.

A second officer arrived on scene and spoke with Golden first, who attempted to get out of the car, according to the report. The officer then searched Claiborne and found nothing, the report said.

At this point, the arresting officer went back to the driver's side, where he found a pack of Swisher Sweet cigars with a small package containing "hydroponic marijuana," the officer wrote.

According to the officer, Golden initially denied that the cigars and marijuana were his. The report states that the officer advised Golden that concealing evidence is a felony, at which point Golden confessed to owning the package of cigars and admitted to dropping it on the ground. The officer stated that he later weighed the marijuana at 1.9 grams.

Claiborne began to protest as the officer placed Golden under arrest, saying "this was going to ruin the defendant's college football career," according to the report.
