On Tuesday, a Greenfield police officer on patrol in the 4200 block of South 27th Street saw Beaulieu cut across all lanes of traffic without using a turn signal then pull into McDonald’s. The officer followed him into the lot to initiate a traffic stop.
The officer smelled marijuana in the car, but Beaulieu denied having any drugs in the car. He told the officer he had a pocket knife in his glove box, so the officer placed him under arrest for carrying a concealed weapon.
