BRICK, NJ — Two Brick Township teens were arrested Monday after police found oxycodone, THC edibles, a handgun and knifes after police pulled over a vehicle that was driving around a development under construction, police said Wednesday.

Nasir Williams, 18, and a 17-year-old boy were arrested following the stop that happened about 5 p.m. Monday, Sgt. Jim Kelly said.

Officer John Alexander pulled the vehicle over after he saw it leaving Law-Win Court, off Mantoloking Road, where homes are under construction. As he walked up to the vehicle, Alexander smelled an odor of burnt marijuana, Kelly said.

Williams was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of a weapon (knife), distribution of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of paraphernalia, possession of CDS in a vehicle and trespassing. He was released on summonses pending a court date, Kelly said.

The 17-year-old was charged with possession of a weapon (firearm), unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon (knife), possession of marijuana, possession of CDS paraphernalia, and possession of a large-capacity magazine. He was being held at the Ocean County Juvenile Detention Center, he said.
