A Tennessee teenager charged in the death of a Nashville police officer after she crashed into his patrol vehicle allegedly had traces of marijuana in her system at the time, according to local reports.

Jayona Brown, now 18, is facing several charges, including vehicular homicide, in the death of Metropolitan Nashville Police Officer John Anderson, who was killed on July 4.

During a hearing Thursday, it was revealed that Brown tested positive for THC three hours after the crash, Fox 17 reported. There were no other impairments listed in the blood test.

Brown’s attorney, Michie Gibson, told Fox News in July that the teen snuck out of her mom’s home early on July 4 with her aunt’s 2016 Ford Fusion.

Metro Nashville Police said an officer tried to pull Brown over but she took off and crashed into Officer Anderson’s patrol vehicle after running a flashing red traffic light, killing him.

Anderson, a four-year veteran of the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) and a father of an 18-month-old son, was heading to a nearby highway to assist a fellow officer with a pedestrian who was reported to have been in a traffic lane waving his arms, police said.

They were expecting to see a corpse – but found more than 650 pounds of marijuana instead.

Colombian police officers that stopped and inspected a vehicle recently near the country’s border with Venezuela uncovered a coffin that contained dozens of packages of marijuana weighing a combined 661 pounds, the El Tiemponewspaper reports.

The driver of the vehicle, who was pulled over on a road headed to Cúcuta, had been asked to open the coffin so officers could look over its contents.

The driver has since been taken into custody.

Video released by police shows officers removing the coffin from the car and opening it up, revealing the tan-colored packages inside.

A Spanish politician from the conservative Popular Party (PP) stepped down on Thursday after being apprehended on charges of running an underground marijuana-growing operation.

Manuel Palma, deputy mayor of the City Council of El Valle in the southern Spanish province of Granada, resigned close to two weeks after he was apprehended by police. In early July, officers discovered 256 marijuana plants inside a house in El Padul, a city 15 minutes away from El Valle.

Palma, who also stepped down as councilor for youth and athletics in El Valle, maintained in a statement released by the PP that he is innocent of the charges. He added that he decided to resign so as to not “hurt the Popular Party name or my colleagues at El Valle council.”

Spanish authorities issued a press release 10 days ago saying that they had arrested two men in a house with two rooms arranged to grow marijuana. However, they did not publicly identify the suspects until Spanish magazine Ideal revealed Wednesday that one of the men was the deputy mayor of El Valle, home to roughly 1,200 people.

The marijuana plantation alleged to belong to Manuel Palma.

Mayor of El Valle Benjamín Ortega, who took office on June 15, refused to ask for Palma’s resignation, arguing that he would wait for more compelling evidence in the criminal investigation.

It was instead the Granada branch of the PP that forced Palma to resign as deputy mayor. Ortega told Spanish daily newspaper El País that the situation in the city council has now “returned to normal.”

In the press release, the Popular Party in Granada “applauded” Palma’s decision to step down and said the party’s door would be “open” to him, “once the situation has been favorably resolved.”
