At 1:51 a.m. April 21, Tom Joseph Dixon, 26, of St. Paul rolled down his window at a stoplight and attempted to yell at a Woodbury police squad car rolling by.
The officers decided to follow the Chevy Impala to determine whether the driver needed assistance. The vehicle changed lanes without signaling, so police initiated a traffic stop near the intersection of Norma Lane and Hudson Road.
A Dos Equis beer was in plain view, as was an A&W root beer can with a plastic bag sticking out of its mouth. The bag contained several clear crystal rocks of meth, weighing 2.4 grams, according to the court complaint.
Dixon is charged with fifth-degree drug possession and is due in court May 12.
