PALMETTO -- A Bradenton man was arrested at 2:41 p.m. Monday and charged with possession of 274 grams of marijuana, a digital scale and plastic bags, according to the Palmetto Police Department.

Clayton D. Mann Jr., 21, was in the 1700 block of First Avenue East, according to the report when a patrol officer stopped a white Nissan after it drove off the road around a speed bump.

A vehicle search revealed a plastic shopping bag filled with 10 individually wrapped bags of marijuana, digital scale, box of plastic sandwich bags and $572, according to the report.

Mann was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell.

Mann was released Tuesday from Manatee County jail on $1,500 bond, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
