Drug use was suspected in the arrest of two men March 19 in Holmes Beach.
Holmes Beach Police Officer Alan Bores arrested Brian N. Jackson, 21, of Bradenton, for driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. The officer also arrested passenger Matthew Primerano, 21, Bradenton, for possessing paraphernalia.
Bores clocked a 2008 Nissan pickup moving at 67 mph in a 35-mph zone in the 700 block of Manatee Avenue West and the stop ended in the Publix Super Market parking lot, 3900 E. Bay Drive, according to the HBPD report.
Jackson showed signs of impairment, the report stated.
Jackson failed to produce registration and insurance for the truck, which Primerano told police belonged to him.
Primerano allegedly consented to a vehicle search, during which Bores found a book bag with a glass pipe on the front floorboard and another bag in the back seat containing 14 hypodermic needles, according to the report.
Jackson was arrested after a field sobriety test and transported to the HBPD, where breath samples showed no blood alcohol content. Jackson also submitted a urine sample for analysis.
Both men were booked at the Manatee County Jail, where a drug expert said Jackson was likely under the influence of various medications and not able to safely operate a vehicle.
Jackson posted a $620 bond and was released pending an 8:30 a.m. arraignment Wednesday, April 19.
Primerano posted a $500 bond and was released. His arraignment is set for 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 18.
Proceedings are held at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
