When officers located the vehicle, Hamilton was driving 30 mph in a 55 mph zone, the police report also noted that when they tried to pull him over, Hamilton made a “wide turn while conducting the turn” onto Little Harmony Road.
During the traffic stop, Hamilton’s erratic behavior led officers to conduct a field sobriety test to determine whether he was fit to drive. It was at that time Hamilton “then admitted to eating two Delta 8 edibles within the last 4 hours” the edibles were gummies, per an additional officer report.
Hamilton was taken into custody without further incident, a family member came to the scene and took possession of Hamilton’s vehicle. Additionally, police had his blood drawn for evidence.
