CA. — A Chico man found with a large amount of marijuana in his vehicle was arrested on multiple charges Friday night after he tried to elude a Glenn County sheriff's deputy.

Charles David Conklin, 48, also known as Charles Schitzo, according to a press release, was spotted by the deputy sitting in a vehicle near a closed strawberry stand at County Road 9 and Sixth Avenue.

Conklin allegedly ducked down as the deputy passed, then drove away. He was stopped about 7:45 p.m. when the deputy noticed an expired registration tag on the license plate.

The deputy reported a strong smell of marijuana as he approached the car.

The deputy learned Conklin had an outstanding bench warrant for his arrest. He allegedly refused to comply with orders and had to be forcibly placed in a control hold and handcuffed outside the vehicle.

A search of Conklin's 1988 Honda turned up two plastic garbage bags filled with freshly cut marijuana and pot harvesting tools.

Conklin admitted he was driving on a suspended license, and didn't possess a medical marijuana certificate.

He was booked into the Glenn County Jail in Willows, with bail set at $39,000.

Conklin was traveling with two dogs and told deputies he had stopped at the strawberry stand to let them relieve themselves.

The dogs were turned over to an animal shelter which contracts with the county.
