An Officer following up on several complaints of possible drug being sold in the area of Van Loan and Nueces observed a 22-year-old Black male talking to the driver of a green 2000 Plymouth Neon in the middle of the roadway.  The Black male was standing with his hand inside the open driver’s side window.  As the Officer drove up, the two males parted company.  As Robert Medina (11/26/56) drove away, he was pulled over for a traffic violation.  Medina began to have trouble breathing as he nervously kept grabbing at his pack of cigarettes.  Further investigation revealed the pack of cigarettes contained 11 rocks of Crack Cocaine.  Medina was arrested and booked at the CDC.  He was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance.  The vehicle was released to the 62-year-old passenger and owner of the vehicle.
