PARK RIDGE, N.J.—An officer patrolling south on Kinderkamack Road on the afternoon of Jan. 21 saw a driver make an improper turn (straight through an intersection despite being in a left-turn-only lane).
The officer stopped the vehicle, and at the driver’s window immediately detected the odor of raw marijuana emanating from the interior.
A consent search turned up a black plastic bag labeled “Goodie Bags,” within which were two hand-rolled marijuana cigarettes, altogether less than 50 grams.
The driver, 33, from Brooklyn, N.Y., was arrested, handcuffed, and taken to headquarters.
There, he was processed and given summonses, which are answerable to Pascack Joint Municipal Court on Feb. 19. The man was given a courtesy ride back to his vehicle.
