A search revealed a blunt cigar and shavings of marijuana but not enough to test, the report says. When the officer asked Simmons which apartment number he lives in, he replied, "I don't know you well enough to give you my number," wouldn't provide his social security number, height or weight and wasn't sure if his eye color was brown.
