Police issued a citation to a Salisbury man for simple marijuana possession after he appeared nervous during a traffic stop.

A report said an officer ran the license plate of a Mercedes on Wednesday around 11 p.m. that was heading in the opposite direction near North Long and East Council streets. The information said the tag was “inactive,” said Police Capt. Shelia Lingle.

The officer turned around and stopped the vehicle. The officer noted that the driver, later identified as Anthony Jermaine Holloway, 29, of the 500 block of Young Road, was very nervous and shaking, a report said.

The officer asked Holloway for an ID and he presented a North Carolina ID card and a New York driver’s license. He told the officer he lived in both states.
