According to CBS News, police found a white powder later confirmed to be cocaine when they searched the vehicle.

2. and that's only the start

Which is why most headlines are running "Latest Series of Charges." This charmer is currently awaiting trial on a whole slew of other charges (drugs, trafficking, weapons, driving while, probation violations, and on) - all following a pardon that got him out of jail in 2021. This dude has a problem (which he isn't doing anything to correct) - and the only positive thing you can come up with here is that he doesn't appear to have seriously injured anyone else in this latest series of 'trouble'. ( although that has been a feature of previous charges )
