Search and search again. No disrespect to this young man, but I was once in his position. After an arrest, I searched and found a knife in the perp's boxers. Another officer found a small loaded .25 cal.on another, during a secondary search. Search and search again. Even if just giving a ride to a pedestrian on a highway. Male or female. Young or old.Take no chances. God Bless you deputy Widman and your family.
