HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — Something didn't smell right during a traffic stop in central Florida.

Over the weekend, deputies with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office pulled over a car. They noticed the passenger, 20-year-old Fabricio Tueros Jimenez, had white powder on his nose.

Deputies swabbed his nose and the powder tested positive for cocaine. According to the sheriff's office, deputies found a bag of powder cocaine on Jimenez, and a backpack with 250 grams of marijuana and 13 Xanax pills in the car.

The sheriff's office said while they took Jimenez into custody, he said the cocaine wasn't his.
