ALBANY,GA --
A man is arrested from Turner Job Corpse for marijuana possession--and it was found he had other warrants out against him.

21-year-old Rian Nelson was arrested Saturday after a woman, who was checking the dorms, said she smelled something like marijuana coming from Nelson's room.

She asked to see inside his locker, where she found less than an ounce of the drug.

It was later tested and returned positive marijuana.

Nelson also had a warrant out for failure to appear in court.

Nelson was arrested and transported to the Dougherty County Jail.
