PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — The gritty

shared top honors Saturday at the Sun

The two movies split the grand jury
prize for best dramatic film.
Girlfight also won the dramatic direct

Can Count on Me won the Waldo Salt
screenwriting award for Kenneth Loner-
gan, who also directed the film.
Girlfight stars Michelle Rodriguez
as a young woman who channels her
fierce temper to become a champion
boxer. You Can Count on Me features
Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo as a
sister and brother struggling to maintain
a sense of family years after their par
ents are killed in a car crash. Matthew

ing marijuana scent, they can search a vehicle or resi
dence without a warrant.
Baron said if the officer can not see or smell mari
juana, but wishes to search a vehicle, the officer must
ask for consent. If the person does not grant the officer
consent, the officer will detain the vehicle and driver
while a search warrant is obtained from a judge.
Baron said officers often use random arrests to find
the source of the drugs.
“Most people get it from their hometowns or bigger
cities,” he said. “If they give us [UPD] a name, we con
tact the Task Force.”
“The Task Force sets up connections between local
agencies to focus on dealers and suppliers,” Jones said.
“We have to start with street dealers and continue to
work up to big dealers.”
While Jones said the majority of the marijuana sup
pliers to the Bryan-College Station area originate in
Mexico and filter through Houston, John said the source
varies depending upon the season of die year.
“February through April is the biggest time for pot,
because there is a lot of high-quality stuff coming from
Mexico straight through San Antonio,” John said. “Af
