GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) - One person is under arrest and another was cited for a drug violation after a tense situation on Plainfield Avenue.
A deputy with the Kent County Sheriff's Office pulled over a car with a loud exhaust at about 3:20 AM as it turned off of Plainfield Avenue onto the on ramp to westbound I-96. The deputy smelled marijuana and asked the driver, a 28-year-old man from the Grand Rapids area and the passenger, a 27-year-old woman from Alto to step out of the car. The deputy searched the car and found marijuana and a box containing three glass bottles with an unknown liquid that smelled like kerosene and appeared to have wicks coming out of the bottles.
