Drug busts for springbreakers passing through Eufaula

The Eufaula tribune has a great article today about springbreakers getting busted on their way through Eufaula.

From http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsi...id=439676&rfi=6:
 
Eufaula Police Capt. Philip Ezell said drug activity always increases in the spring, because people are getting out more often.
Ezell said those arrested were upper college age, 22 to 30, and not teenagers.
(...) If an officer sees or smells drugs, such as marijuana smoke, a warrant is not needed to search the car. If the officer has suspicions drugs may be present, but has no visual indicator, then the officer asks to search the car.
(...) Ezell advises spring breakers to drive carefully, stay with a group, watch the loud music, wear seat belts, stay away from drugs and have a great holiday.

Interestingly enough, Police Capt. Ezell points out that most of the drug offenders caught in Eufaula during routine traffic violations are middle and upper middle class, because they are the ones who can afford to travel.
 
I guess the 'upper class' travels by airplane, out of Eufaula police officers' reach.
