Clarence Wilson Arrested With Over 18 Pounds of Marijuana at Nashville International Airport – Scoop: Nashville

On July 11, Clarence Wilson, 29, had drugs concealed in his luggage at Nashville International Airport. Detective Swisher deployed Peggy, his narcotics detection dog, on a baggage run for Spirit Flight 119. Peggy then gave a positive indication of a gray hard-sided “SWISS” suitcase with the name “WILSON/CLARENCE” on it. Once the bag was recovered, investigators approached Wilson, who consented to a search of his bag. During the search, officers discovered he had 14 vacuum-sealed packages of marijuana wrapped in numerous sweatshirts inside a large blanket with scented car air fresheners, totaling 8,164.65 grams. When officers asked Wilson for his identification, he attempted to flee, ignoring their orders to stop. Officers also searched Wilson’s carry-on bag, where they found six 1-gram containers of THC wax and 2.5 28-gram packages of marijuana. Wilson was later taken into custody for escape and possession with intent.

Clarence Wilson was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 11 on charges of escape and possession for sale. A court commissioner set his bail at $4,500.
