Did they just think he was

Did they just think he was under the influence, or did they actually know? I wouldn't of let the officer arrest me unless they had evidence indicating that he had the cocaine on him. The alcohol rehab program that I was recently at had a lot of cocaine users. It's so hard to tell if you are on that stuff or not. I just don't get why he got arrested unless he was like freaking out or something.
