“Jones’ vehicle, driven by a companion, was stopped Aug. 3, 2012, reportedly for a broken tail light and she ultimately was ticketed for marijuana possession. On the video, the officer is recorded telling Jones she was ticketed because he was ‘aggravated’ she hadn’t disclosed her HIV-positive status before the search.

In September, Dearborn dismissed a misdemeanor marijuana charge against Jones, her attorneys said.”
