    <h1>Suspicious speedster questioned by FBI</h1> $51,516 in cash found in car

    By Jon Johnson, Assistant Editor

    SaffordPolice officer Brian Avila found something unusual when performing avehicle search after pulling over a reckless driver on Tuesday -$51,516 in cash.

    Aurangzeb M. Sheikh, 19, of Texas was pulled over by Safford Police after they witnessed him driving his black, 2007BMW G-6 sportscar recklessly on Highway 70. He also drove south on First Avenue at speeds estimated at 80 mph. Sheikh was given a citationfor speeding and performing an unsafe lane change.

    According to his report, prior to Sheikh leaving, Avila asked him if he had any illegal items in his vehicle. Sheikh stated he did not and then consented to a vehicle search.

    Avila found a marijuana grinder,a marijuana joint, an Islamic Republic of Pakistan international driving permit and $51,516 in cash in a duffle bag on the passengerseat.

    “When you find those items in that kind of car with someone so young, it raises eyebrows,” Chief John Griffin said.

    When asked about the money, Sheikh stated he was a professional poker player and was traveling from Las Vegas to Houston, Texas.

    He said he had won the money playing at the casinos in Las Vegas.

    Safford Police reminded Sheikh that his driver’s license gave his age as 19 years old.

    Hethen told officers he had won the money playing poker on-line and at various poker games he hosted with friends at a rented Las Vegas residence.

    Safford Police drove Sheikh’s car to the Safford Police station for a more thorough search. They placed the money and Sheikh’s laptop in the police vault.

    Sheikh was transported to the station as well and consented to give a urine sample. Officers useda Status Stick test kit, which came up positive for THC (delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol) - the psychoactive substance found in marijuana.

    Sheikh denied the marijuana items were his but admitted to possessing a fraudulent document.

    Hesaid he obtained the Pakistani driving permit from his brother, wholives in that country. He claimed he used it to get into casinos toplay poker.

    Safford Police could find no criminal history on Sheikh.

    The Federal Bureau of Investigations was notified and did a background investigation of its own.

    The FBI confirmed Sheikh was a well-known on-line poker player and had previously won nearly $200,000 in the Bahamas.

    Sheikh was cited for DUI-drugs, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and forgery. He was booked into the Graham County Jail and released the next day.

    His car, money and laptop were returned to him.

    That sucks, hopefully he doesn't get too screwed for this. Basically it's a bunch of small things that can be turned into something major

    God why consent to a vehicle search, If the cops could just search your car - they wouldnt ask. Rookie Mistake.

    Well Im sure that happens sometimes but they have no reason to suspect he was high at the time or had drugs in the car (ie didnt smell it in the air) then they arent just going to get a k9 unit to come out to sniff for drugs.

    Cops will simply ask people 'Mind if we search the car?' and naive people assume that they must say yes.

    Erratic driving + odor of marijuana + refusal to consent to a search = probably cause.

    Um the article mentions no odor.

    And without that they could just search anyones car who sped and refused to consent to a search? = i dont fkin think so

    and hell the odor is enough for probable cause. If they smell it you wont even have a chance to refuse consent and the 'erratic driving' wouldnt even come in to playt.

    Yah, welcome to America. Clearly you haven't been involved in this situation too many times yourself.

    As for the article not mentioning it... I don't think the officer involved wrote the article. I'm sure there's a reason he asked to search the vehicle. I've been pulled over many times and cops don't just ask for the Hell of it... they're not going to waste their time unless they have some reason to believe they are going to get something out of it.

    Pretty sure if the dude had a used grinder and a spliff rolling around that the cop could smell it. They're not stupid.
