Frankly, I think Poll Blind's thread on this subject gave you a valid scenario. And, there's forensic evidence on this case that will either back the cops, or not.

Further, the reason his two companions were not taken into custody was because they hadn't done anything wrong.

Mr. Chavis gave a fake name, had warrants and pot.
