On May 13, 2011 at approximately 5:15 p.m., while conducting a property check of 415 East Westfield Avenue Sgt. David Pitts observed a 2009 Toyota parked in the rear parking lot adjacent to the apartment building occupied by several persons. The engine appeared to be off and the motor vehicle had no one seated in the driver’s seat. An investigation led to the discovery of two (2) partially burned hand-rolled cigars containing suspected marijuana in possession of one of the occupants identified as 17 year old juvenile of Elizabeth, NJ.
The juvenile was placed under arrest charged with 2C:35-10(a)(4) (possession of CDS) and released to the custody of a guardian pending a Family Court hearing.
