Officer asks for ID, receives bag of marijuana

A police officer investigating why a car was stopped in the middle of College Boulevard at 4 a.m. on Dec. 14 found the driver and his passenger either asleep or unconscious. The car smelled of alcohol and vomit, he noted in his report.

The officer managed to wake the driver, but could not rouse the passenger. He finally took her pulse to make sure she was OK, according to the report.

The driver handed the officer his license upon request. When the officer asked for the passenger's identification, the driver handed over a small coin purse with a bag of marijuana in it.

The officer asked again for identification and the driver gave him the passenger's open purse, which had a marijuana pipe clearly visible inside of it.

Both of the individuals were arrested for possession of marijuana and possession of narcotics equipment.
