Early this morning at approximately 12:15, Troopers Ross Rafferty and Dustan Rubenacker stopped the driver of a 2004 Ford Explorer for failing to signal when required while traveling east on Virginia east of Green River Road.  When troopers were approaching the vehicle they detected an odor of marijuana.  The driver was identified as Dominique Jamal Pointer, 20, of Evansville.  When officers searched Pointer they found two clear bags containing marijuana, a digital scale and $485 in U.S. currency.  A search of the vehicle revealed a Tupperware bowl and a mason jar containing marijuana and a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol.  Further investigation revealed Pointer did not have a handgun license to have a firearm in his possession.  Pointer was arrested and taken to the Vanderburgh County Jail where he is currently being held without bond.
