Cops: Four Men Got Stoned, Took Gun To Newark Airport, Went For Joy Ride

Four men carrying a gun got stoned early Monday and took four cars for a joy ride at Newark Liberty International Airport, police said.

Port Authority police were called to the Budget rental-car lot at 3 a.m. where the four men had just fled after being confronted by Budget employee, said Joe Pentangelo, a Port Authority Police spokesman.

Budget employees attempted to confront the suspects who were driving three Chevrolet Camaros and one Ford Mustang. The men drove the four vehicles around the lot in a reckless manner without permission of the rental company, Pentangelo said.

The men then fled the lot and attempted to enter the vehicles they arrived in, Pentangelo said.

One of those vehicles was a Dodge Dart and the other a 2009 Jaguar XF. Port Authority Police then arrived, rounded up the suspects and began interviewing them.

There was a strong odor of burnt marijuana emanating from both the Jaguar and the Dodge Dart. There was also a burning marijuana cigarette in the center console of the Dodge Dart, Pentangelo said.

The Dodge Dart also contained a Glock 40 calibre handgun loaded with eleven rounds. That pistol was on a booster seat in the rear of the Dart, Pentangelo said.

All suspects were placed under arrest. They were:

• Shiemere King, 23, Hillside; charges: possession of a handgun, possession of marijuana, theft by means of conveyance;
• Steven Constant, 26, Hillside; charges: possession of a handgun, possession of marijuana, theft by means of conveyance;
• Barnabas Dorcely, 21, Hillside, charges: possession of a handgun, possession of marijuana, theft by means of conveyance;
• Jordan Ford, 23, Irvington, charges: possession of a handgun, possession of marijuana, theft by means of conveyance;
• Devon Fields, 26, Hillside; charges: possession of a handgun and possession of marijuana
• Derrick K. Crenshaw, Jr., 22, Hillside; charges: possession of a handgun and possession of marijuana
