On 28 Jul 08 Deputy Sheriff Smeeks conducted a traffic stop on an SUV that was speeding on Interstate 77.

Harriston, age 49, 11721 Jesse Avenue, Cleveland, both appeared extremely nervous. Prior to writing Harriston a warning for speeding, Deputy Smeeks conducted a pat down for weapons and discovered a marijuana joint concealed in a cigar pack.

As a result of the traffic stop, Deputy Smeeks issued a minor misdemeanor citation to Damario Harriston for possession of marijuana and arrested Herbert Harriston for carrying a concealed weapon.
