CEDAR CITY — After a routine traffic stop Sunday afternoon, a Cedar City Police officer arrested a 34-year-old Nevada man for possession of multiple drugs with the intention to distribute.
At 4:33 p.m. Sunday, Cedar City Police Officer Clint Pollock stopped Danh Nguyen, of Mesquite, Nevada, for failing to signal. During the traffic stop, Pollock discovered marijuana and other drugs in Nguyen’s possession, according to a probable cause statement filed by Pollock in support of the arrest.
“I searched the vehicle on plain smell and located a large amount of marijuana under the driver’s seat in a grocery bag, estimate of two ounces,” Pollock wrote in the statement. “The marijuana was in four separate bags in different amounts and based on my training and experience, it appeared to be ready for sale.”
Pollock also located acetaminophen and hydrocodone bitartrate, a schedule 3 controlled substance, in a prescription bottle with the label scratched off. Additionally, methamphetamine and a marijuana pipe were found in Nguyen’s vehicle.
“Danh didn’t have a prescription for pills nor could I identify who they were prescribed to with the label missing,” Pollock said in the statement. “Danh has a previous arrest for controlled substance and drug paraphernalia but it didn’t have any disposition. I gave Danh his rights and he invoked his right to remain silent.”
Nguyen was charged with two third-degree felonies for possession of methamphetamine and marijuana with intent to distribute; two class B misdemeanors for possession of a schedule 3 drug and drug paraphernalia; and one class C misdemeanor for failing to signal.
Nguyen was booked into the Iron County Jail, where he remains on $10,000 bail.
Persons arrested or charged are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law or as otherwise decided by a trier-of-fact.

Ed. ellipsis.
I care, considering this man hacked my bank account, stole my car, attempted to kidnap my son. Thank goodness they caught him and this article, or I would have had no idea. Even though he was already released and nothing was done!
He’s from Vegas, pulled over for being from Vegas, Vegas has drugs, he has drugs, easy bust…
#made my quota for Sept.
An Asian man from Nevada… I sure hope his bishop can put in a good word for him, otherwise he’s in big trouble.
Not from vegas from mesquite! And whats with the bishop comment?
My apklogies kaite….He’s from Nevada, he got pulled over for being from Nevada, Nevad has drugs, he has drugs, easy bust…
This is unbelievable! I’d be more apt to believe he’d get arrested in Cedar City for multiple dogs with the intention to distribute. Kinda like running a prostitution ring.
None of you have any idea of this situation. Why do you even comment?
NONE of you know anything about this man! All he does is nails! AND kidnapping your son HESA GOOD DAD LADY!!! AND he works hard!! You just mad Katie.
All he does is nails?? Please!! He hasnt been doing his job in years! He used to work for me! He’s a good dad? What? Youre there? You see him with my son? He hasnt seen him in over a month! And when he does, he lets him play violent video games while he sleeps off his high. He forgets to feed him. Would you like to see all the police reports where he refused to give my kid back, and when he tried hiding him with his crackhead roommate? I admit, he USED to be a good guy. Even a good Dad. But those days are long gone. So don’t try defending a drug dealer!
I would be more worried if he was distributing dogs. Bishop might pull his recommend….
Definitely, if those dogs are of the Heinz 57 variety.
His Bishop? Do you think he’s Morman? Such incredible unawareness.
This … is just about to break into your jack … Morman home. You are just about as bad as Isis.
