According to a probable cause affidavit filed Aug. 21 in Monroe Circuit Court, troopers stopped a red 2009 Audi on May 29 after it was clocked at 63 mph in a 45 mph zone on North Walnut Street. The driver, identified as 25-year-old Dezonae Jones, of Chicago, and passenger Robert Miles, 42, of Bloomington, were questioned after an officer reported smelling marijuana coming from the vehicle. A small child was also in the back seat.

Troopers said multiple bags of suspected marijuana were found in the vehicle and with Miles, who admitted the plant material belonged to him. A search of the trunk uncovered a purse containing a Pringles can, which held two baggies of powder — one later testing positive for 64 grams of cocaine, and another 51 grams of suspected heroin, which is pending lab results. Officers also reported finding additional bags of plant material throughout the car, weighing about 30 grams in total.

Both Jones and Miles were read their Miranda rights and interviewed. Jones denied knowledge of the powders. Miles initially denied knowing about the cocaine but admitted ownership of the marijuana, according to police.

Jones was taken into custody and booked into the Monroe County Jail after receiving medical clearance. Miles was interviewed by troopers and later released on his own recognizance, records show.

Miles, of 500 block of W. Terry Lane, now faces multiple felony charges, including dealing in cocaine, dealing in a narcotic drug, and possession of cocaine over 28 grams. He is also charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.
