The smell of marijuana emanating from a car near a Fair Road restaurant Tuesday night led to a struggle, then a wanted man’s arrest. An off-duty police officer noticed the odor of pot burning and contacted Statesboro Police Department K-9 Unit Advanced Patrol Officer Kyle Briley, said Major Robert Bryan, interim Statesboro police chief. Around 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, the “off-duty Statesboro Police officer was in the area of El Sombrero on Fair Road when he observed a suspicious vehicle that smelled of marijuana,” he said.
