Mahwah Man Busted With Pot Brownies, Cake At County Park: Police

MAHWAH, NJ — Police found a half pound of marijuana edibles in a township man's vehicle after they saw the man "walking and acting" suspiciously Friday, police said.

Detective Sgt. Kevin Hebert and detectives Michael Grassi and Eric Larsen were watching an area near the Ramapo Reservation near Ramapo Valley Road, which has been knowing for recent drug-related activities recently, said Police Chief James Batelli.

Detectives saw Brendan Garvin, 20, walking and acting suspiciously and approached him, Batelli said. After speaking with him, police determined there were narcotics on him and in his vehicle in the reservation's parking lot, the chief said.

Garvin consented to a search of his vehicle, where police found a half pound of marijuana edibles, brownies and a cake, Batelli said.

Garvin was charged with distribution of marijuana in a county park, distribution of marijuana, possession of more than 50 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of stolen property, Batelli said.

Garvin had a stolen property from the Mahwah Library and a wallet with a Ramapo College student's identification inside, Batelli said.

Garvin was remanded to the Bergen County Jail pending a hearing, the chief said.
