After searching the vehicle, the officer found a small amount of marijuana in the glove compartment.

A police officer was documenting a found-property case when a fictitious Texas driver’s license was found alongside a legitimate Illinois driver’s license. When the woman came to retrieve the purse being inspected, she was questioned about the fake ID and said it belonged to her roommate.

The police officer asked for the roommate’s phone number to confirm the story, but the woman claimed she could not remember it. The officer noted a light odor of intoxicants on the woman’s breath, and told her so. She changed her story and admitted to drinking at a speed-dating event that night.

The fictitious license was confiscated, and the woman was cited and released.
