The Sheriff’s Office says two deputies performed a traffic stop and determined Nolen was driving on a revoked license.

During an inventory of the vehicle, the Sheriff’s Office says Nolen made several references to being hungry and wanting to “eat his hamburger.”

However, the Sheriff’s Office says the burger contained more than just lettuce and pickles, as deputies retrieved a small bag of methamphetamine found between the buns.
