GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A police officer’s night took a surprising turn after he stopped to ask a driver about a series of break-ins.

Officer Almedin Ajanovic was in a neighborhood where a couple of break-ins had occurred when he noticed a dark car idling in front of a house, WSB-TV reports. The officer asked the driver, Albert Ross-Simmons, if he had seen anything suspicious. As he was speaking with Simmons, the officer smelled marijuana.

The suspect attempted to kick a plastic container under his seat as he was ordered out of the vehicle. The officer spotted it and found a boatload of drugs inside.

Authorities found 206 ecstasy pills, 50 oxycodone pills, two bags of mushrooms, marijuana, cocaine, and other drugs inside the container, according to the report. Police also found two stolen guns.

Simmons faces 11 counts, most of which are felonies.
