A traffic stop over a stop sign led to six drug-related charges for Boynton Beach man Peter Simo, 30, who was arrested early on 29 October 2026 in Delray Beach.[1] The stop began when an officer watched Simo’s black Infiniti fail to stop properly at the four-way stop at SE 1st Street and SE 4th Avenue.[1] Simo was alone in the car and was allegedly reaching behind the front passenger seat as the officer walked up.[1] The officer spotted a sheathed fixed-blade knife between the driver’s seat and center console and reported a strong marijuana odor while leaning in to secure it.[1] Simo said he had been reaching for a can, that his medical marijuana card had expired and that the smell came from earlier use.[1]

Police searched the car and reported finding an open, cold can of an alcoholic beverage behind the passenger seat, plus vials, capsules, a loose orange pill and a hand-rolled cigarette.[1] Field tests were positive for 2.23 grams of marijuana and 0.72 grams of marijuana wax, as well as 0.18 grams of fentanyl and 0.41 grams of ecstasy/MDMA, and the affidavit also lists one 30 mg amphetamine/dextroamphetamine pill.[1] Simo was booked into jail and later released on $22,000 bond.[1]
