STERLINGTON, La. - Officers searching a suspect's car found almost $6,000 hidden in a sock in the trunk, money the suspect allegedly offered to share. Antonio Marcius Williams, 29, of Bastrop, was booked with public bribery, simple possession of marijuana and illegal carrying of a weapon.
Sterlington police officers stopped Williams's car on U.S. 165 Wednesday because the window tint was too dark, according to the report.
The officers saw a green leafy substance on Williams's shirt and they smelled marijuana; Williams told the officer he had just smoked marijuana a couple of hours previously, the report stated.
Officers found $391 in his pants pocket and a loaded .357-caliber Magnum in the front left fender, according to the report.
When officers searched the trunk, they found a sock hidden under the carpet with $5,965 rolled up inside, the report stated.
The report stated Williams told one of the officers he would give him $2,000 and another $300 later if the officer would give him his money back.
Williams was booked into Ouachita Correctional Center.
