SHEBOYGAN – A 20-year-old Sheboygan man riding his bike at midnight was found to be in possession of more than two ounces of marijuana.
Dakota J. Marksman was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor, and possession of THC with intent to deliver, a felony.
According to the criminal complaint:
An officer near South 16th Street and Kentucky Avenue in Sheboygan noticed a man on a bike acting suspiciously.
The officer caught up to the man, identified as Marksman, and asked to speak with him. The officer also immediately smelled a strong odor of marijuana.
Marksman, without being prompted or questioned, said he had “a little” marijuana and a grinder.
When interviewed by police, Marksman said the marijuana was his and that he bought it from a friend with the intent to sell it. He said he had been selling marijuana since June when he left his job and typically sells about two ounces a week.
Marksman told officers he is a “small scale” drug dealer and only makes about $100 a week. He said he does not carry smaller baggies with him to divide out the marijuana because he thought if he got caught that would automatically make it a drug dealing case.
