Crime Scene Middletown: TWO JUVENILES ARRESTED ON MARIJUANA CHARGES AFTER MOTOR VEHICLE STOP

PREPARED BY DETECTIVE LIEUTENANT STEPHEN DOLLINGER

On January 8, 2011 at approximately 2: 25 pm Patrolman Robert Mc Nair was on patrol on Wilson Avenue when he stopped a vehicle being operated with a brake light out. While stopping the car, Officer Mc Nair observed the front seat passenger bend forward and attempt to hide something under the front seat.

Upon approaching the vehicle, being operated by a seventeen year old juvenile, Patrolman Mc Nair observed what he recognized as loose marijuana on the jacket of the passenger, also a seventeen year old juvenile. The officer asked the passenger to exit the vehicle at which point he observed a grey nylon bag laying on the floor. Closer examination of the bag revealed a sandwich bag which held seven smaller baggies which all contained a green vegetation which Officer Mc Nair recognized as marijuana, a metal grinder used to prepare marijuana for smoking, and a glass pipe used to smoke marijuana.

Both juveniles were placed under arrest and transported to police headquarters where they were each charged with Possession of under 50 grams of marijuana. The juveniles were processed and released to their parents.
