A Bad Time To Break Down: Police Find 54 Bags of Synthetic Marijuana While Assisting With Disabled Car

A Pennsylvania man was arrested early Wednesday morning after police found dozens of bags of synthetic marijuana inside a vehicle on Schooley’s Mountain Road, Lt. Doug Compton said.

At 5:01 a.m. Officer Dan Parrish responded to a disabled car on Schooley’s Mountain Road, Compton said. While assisting at the scene, Parrish learned the vehicle’s registration expired, and while speaking with the vehicle’s occupants, small amounts of marijuana were seen in plain view inside the car, Compton said.

Parrish requested a consent search of the vehicle, which was granted, and turned up a plastic bag with 54 smaller bags of synthetic marijuana inside, Compton said.

An investigation revealed the drugs belonged to Jeffrey Black Jr., 24, of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, Compton said.

Black was arrested and issued a criminal complaint for possession of more than 50 grams of marijuana.
