An 18-year-old Magnolia man's call to Mountain Home police for a vehicle unlock ended with his arrest after an officer reported finding a large quantity of marijuana in the car, according to an affidavit made public Wednesday.

Carter Pyle was at a Mountain Home church when he called police, asking for an officer to come unlock his car after he'd locked two sets of keys in the vehicle, according to the affidavit.

Mountain Home police officer Rockie Morrell responded to the call and drove to the church where he found Pyle and the vehicle. As Morrell began to work at unlocking the car, he reported seeing three compressed bags of what "appeared" to be marijuana sitting in plain view on the passenger floorboard.

Morrell was eventually able to open the door of the car. Once the officer did so, he asked Pyle if the bags on the passenger side floorboard contained marijuana. Pyle reportedly said they did contain marijuana.

At that point, Morrell arrested Pyle and called for a tow truck to haul the car away. Morrell conducted an inventory of the car prior to releasing it to the towing company.

During that inventory, Morrell removed a red gym bag and opened it. Inside, Morrell reported finding several more bags containing suspected marijuana. In all, more than a pound of marijuana was seized from the car, according to the affidavit.

Pyle faces a charge of possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver. He was released from the Baxter County jail the same day he was arrested after posting a $2,500 bond, according to electronic jail records.
