Officers were sent to the Concord Public Library for a report that a subject with an active warrant was handing out in front of the library, according to an arrest report. The warrant stemmed from two alleged drug dealing transactions on South Street on April 30, and May 8, 2016, involving more than 33 grams of marijuana, valued at $400.

The reporting officer did not see Roz when he arrived at the library but saw him inside sitting at a computer station, according to the report. Roz was asked to leave the library for a private conversation and was arrested outside.

As he was transported to headquarters, the driving officer told the reporting officer that he “he had smelled a strong smell of marijuana in the vehicle” and “Roz admitted that he had marijuana in his pocket,” according to the report. Inside a pack of cigarettes, Roz allegedly had five baggies of marijuana.

Roz was processed without incident and released. He’s due in court on June 20.

A little more than three years ago, Roz was arrested on possession of prescription drugs without a prescription, theft by unauthorized taking or transfer, and receiving stolen property charges after allegedly stealing items from a woman’s apartment at the Pitman Street building, according to a post on Patch.
