Young was relieved of duties on Oct. 20, and Detective Sgt. Ken Wade launched a criminal investigation on Oct. 30.
Young also was being investigated at the time for what a forensic video expert concluded was alteration of videotapes of his traffic stops, made by a recorder in his patrol car.
Young's report of the traffic stop indicates he asked and received permission to search the suspect's vehicle because he is allergic to marijuana and had a reaction when he approached the vehicle.
