Marijuana Altima
An officer on foot patrol stopped a black Nissan Altima with his flashlight when he saw the car driving around on the sidewalk in front of Fogler Library at 10:57 p.m. Sept. 23. He informed the driver, Blake Miller, 19, Bangor, that he was driving on sidewalks, not roadways. The officer could smell a strong odor of burning marijuana, but Miller and his two passengers denied smoking. When the officer asked Miller if he had any drugs in the vehicle, he turned over a baggy of marijuana. The officer asked them to exit the vehicle while he searched it. Passenger Michael Delahanty, 19, Bangor, indicated that the backpack in the back seat was his and the officer “would most likely find marijuana in it.” The officer found a small baggy of marijuana in the front pocket. Another baggy of marijuana was stuffed in the front passenger-side door, where Jacob Veilleux, 19, Bangor, had been sitting. Delahanty, Miller and Veilleux were issued summonses for possession of marijuana.
