FRESNO (KMJ) — A Fresno man has been arrested for possession of marijuana for sale, after he was originally caught jaywalking in Southeast Fresno.
It comes as Fresno Police are trying to bring down the number of vehicle versus pedestrian incidents.
“We have been targeting pedestrians in our Downtown area and in our high-traffic areas out in our neighborhoods trying to curtail the pedestrians in our roadway,” explained Lieutenant David Ramsey.
During the early hours of Monday morning, officers stopped a man jaywalking across First Street close to Tulare Avenue. They identified the subject as Edward Andrew Williams, and the 56 year old was allegedly found with packaged marijuana for sale, a drug scale, methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia.
Williams was booked into Fresno County Jail on the jaywalking charge and various narcotics offenses, including two felonies.
