State Police said at about 11:15 p.m. Wednesday, a trooper pulled over a gold 2000 Toyota Avalon on eastbound Route 50 west of Racetrack Road in Berlin.
The driver, Vaughan Sumter, 31, of Chesapeake, Va., was pulled over because he did not move over to the left lane while passing the trooper's marked vehicle. State law says drivers must make a lane change while passing a stopped emergency vehicle.
The trooper smelled marijuana in the car and did a search. He found suspected marijuana located in the driver's side door panel.
Sumter was placed under arrest and transported to the Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack for processing. He was then transported to the Worcester County District Court Commissioner's Office, where he was released on personal recognizance.
