Cheyenne Man Charged After Police Find Drugs During Traffic Stop

A 37-year-old Cheyenne man is facing drug possession charges following a traffic stop in north central Cheyenne.

According to a booking sheet, Bobby Neal Jolly was riding in a vehicle headed east on East 18th Street at 7:44 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, when a police officer saw the driver turn right onto Evans Avenue without using their turn signal.

The driver then reportedly darted into a parking spot as the officer flipped around, and both the driver and Jolly jumped out of the vehicle.

The officer says a narcotics detection K-9 was requested and alerted on the vehicle.

As he pulled Jolly out of the vehicle, the officer says Jolly told him he had a baggie of "dope" in his pocket, which ended up being 4.02 grams of methamphetamine.

Officers also reportedly located one gram of suspected marijuana wax which Jolly said belonged to him.

Jolly was arrested and charged with felony possession of methamphetamine, a crime punishable by up to seven years in prison, up to a $15,000 fine, or both, and misdemeanor possession of marijuana wax.

He made his initial appearance in Laramie County Circuit Court on Monday morning, during which his bond was set at $3,000 cash and his preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 22 at 2:30 p.m.
