When the deputy made contact with Langley, he noticed a strong odor of marijuana and asked him to exit the vehicle, at which time he noticed that Langley appeared to be chewing on something.

Langley was asked to open his mouth, and he spit out a small plastic baggy of a leafy green substance believed to be marijuana. The deputy also found a marijuana pipe in Langley's pocket, as well as a clear plastic baggy with a crystal substance believed to be methamphetamine. He also found a pipe used for smoking meth.
