Checking an unconscious driver leads to drug charges

Tucson police were investigating a robbery at a gas station on South Alvernon Way near East 22nd Street last month when a passerby told an officer a man was unconscious in a parked car, police said in a social media post.

An officer approached Dustian Marsh, 43, and eventually arrested him on an outstanding warrant, police said. Inside the car, officers found 900 fentanyl pills, a loaded handgun and nearly $5,000 in cash.

Marsh was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking, possession of a weapon during a drug offense and illegal possession of a weapon.
