Damarius Scot Bedeaux, 27, Burnsville, was charged Nov 7 with felony fifth-degree possession after a traffic stop in Hampton. On May 29 at 7:52 p.m., a Dakota County Sheriff’s Deputy pulled a vehicle over at the intersection of 240th Street East and Lewiston Boulevard for not having a front license plate and crossing the fog line. Upon speaking to the driver, the deputy “smelled the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle,” noticed an open container next to the driver, and that all three occupants were not wearing their seatbelts, including front passenger Bedeaux. After a field sobriety test, the driver admitted to the deputy that he used and had possession of marijuana in the vehicle. During a search of the vehicle by an assisting deputy, Bedeaux’s backpack was found to have a tube, a case with pills, and a pipe.
