The other driver told police he was stopped at the red light when Ayers crashed into the back of his car and said Ayers seemed “out of it,” according to the report. Police said they went to Ayers’ car and smelled an odor of marijuana and found a small plastic bag of what appeared to be marijuana sitting “in plain view on a shelf above the glove box,” according to the report.

Ayers is charged with driving under the influence, child endangerment, vehicle offense with minor in vehicle, and simple possession of marijuana.
