Drug charges dropped in 'air freshener' search

FARRELL, Pa. (AP) - June 18, 2009

The Mercer County District Attorney dropped marijuana and crack cocaine possession charges against 33-year-old Michael Campbell, of Farrell.

Campbell was riding in the car police stopped on May 2 because it had a pine tree air freshener on the mirror. Police say they found the drugs when they searched the car after the stop.

Because the stop wasn't warranted, anything found in the car can't be used as evidence against Campbell.
