Massachusetts Minors Charged With Marijuana Possession

Sheriff Donald B. Smith reports the arrest of two minor female subjects from Massachusetts after they were discovered to be in possession of marijuana in a Town of Kent park.

Deputy Sheriff Daniel Hunsberger was on patrol in a parking lot of Ryan's Field, Towners Road, Kent on May 4, 2008 at 9:40 p. m. when he observed suspicious activity in a parked vehicle bearing out-of-state plates. Upon investigation, the deputy determined that two women in the vehicle were in possession of three pipes containing marijuana. The deputy arrested the women and charged them with Unlawful Possession of Marijuana, a violation. The defendants were released in their own recognizance pending a May 21, 2008 appearance in the Town of Kent Justice Court to answer the charges.

If found guilty of the violation charges, the defendants could face fines of up to $100.00.
