OSAGE COUNTY — An Osage County deputy arrested Jestyn N. Dorsey, 29, of St. Charles County, in late August after reportedly finding evidence of marijuana use and impairment during a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 63.

According to an Osage County Sheriff’s Office probable cause statement, Dorsey was stopped at approximately 7:46 p.m. on Aug. 26 after Cpl. Aaron Bell observed his red Jeep traveling 79 miles per hour in a 65 mph zone. Bell reported detecting “a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle” and noted that Dorsey’s eyes were “glassy, watery, bloodshot and dilated.”

Dorsey allegedly told the deputy he had smoked marijuana about three hours before the stop and had marijuana in the vehicle. A field sobriety test was administered, and Dorsey reportedly showed multiple signs of impairment.

Dorsey consented to providing a saliva sample for roadside testing, which the deputy reported came back positive for cannabis. A subsequent search of the vehicle turned up a small multi-colored bag containing marijuana residue, a blue-and-pink grinder, and a glass jar with roughly four grams of marijuana, according to the report.

Following his arrest, Dorsey agreed to provide a blood sample, which was collected and submitted to the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Toxicology-Blood Drug Analysis Testing Laboratory. The results of that analysis were not yet available at the time of the report.

During a post-arrest interview, Dorsey allegedly admitted to having smoked marijuana about four hours before driving and rated himself as a “3 on a scale of 0 to 10,” with 0 being completely sober and 10 being the most impaired he had ever been.

The sheriff’s office listed two potential charges: driving while intoxicated and exceeding the posted speed limit. Official charges had not been filed as of Monday.
