Marijuana and a paper envelope containing $1,725 in cash were allegedly found in the second row.
He was also charged with a gross misdemeanor for driving after his license was cancelled. McClendon was preciously convicted of two possession cases in 2014 and 2015.
If convicted of the felony, McClendon faces up to five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.
