An officer saw a white 2005 Volvo S40 on 16th near Gunderson and saw the passenger drop cigar ash into the street. When stopped at 16th and Elmwood, the driver, Peter Portugues, 19, of Chicago, said he had no idea what the passenger sitting right next to him was doing. The passenger, 25-year-old Jonathan Rivera, also of Chicago, was asked what he was doing. Rivera said he was about to roll a blunt with some of pot he had; he helpfully reached into his right gym shoe and produced a bag of marijuana, for which he was ticketed.
