Police say Mr. Hewitt appeared very nervous; the officer could also allegedly smell the odor of burnt marijuana. A search of both individuals inside the vehicle revealed that Mr. Hewitt had in his possession two Xanax pills, said police. Officials said the teenager did not have a prescription for the medication. A bottle of prescription cough syrup was also found. 

Police charged Mr. Hewitt and a judge sent him to the ACI for a two-week stay.
