Devontae Turner, 21, of Champaign, was arrested at 12:56 p.m. Tuesday in the 1200 block of North Cunningham Avenue, Urbana, for possession of more than 30 grams of cannabis, resisting a police officer, obstructing justice and on a Champaign County warrant for failure to appear in court. Turner was a passenger in a vehicle that initially was stopped because an officer observed items hanging from the mirror that obstructed the driver’s view, and the officer saw Turner assembling cannabis to be smoked. Turner initially gave a false name to police when questioned and resisted officers as they handcuffed him.
