A Butler man was arrested after city police Saturday stopped him in a car with nearly one-third of a pound of suspected marijuana.

Tywann R. Windham, 33, is charged with felony and misdemeanor drug possession. He is in Butler County Prison on $5,000 bail. He also is being held on a probation violation.

Police said they pulled him over about 11 a.m.for a license plate violation. They also learned his license was suspended.

Officers noticed the “strong odor of marijuana” coming from the vehicle, according to court documents, and Windham admitted he had the drug in his coat pocket.

A preliminary hearing on the latest charges is set for Monday.
