Police Find Men Smoking Pot, Watching Movie in Garage

A man was arrested after he was allegedly found smoking pot in a garage with another Kinnelon man at the Kinnelon Ridge apartment complex.

Lloyd S. Alleyne, 33, of Kinnelon was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana. Larry A. Vogel, 32, also of Kinnelon, was not charged.

said a caller told police that they believed people to be living in a garage at the complex and that they had seen them coming and going from the garage on foot. Upon further investigation, police said they found the garage partially open and smelled burning marijuana coming from inside.

Occupants of the home were asked to open the garage, at which point Alleyne and Vogel were found. Police said it was obvious that the men had been watching a movie inside the garage and that a partially smoked marijuana cigarette was found on top of a dresser. Police also said Alleyne allegedly admitted to smoking the marijuana cigarette and also allegedly turned over another marijuana cigarette to police.

Alleyne was transported to the Kinnelon police station and released with a ticket to appear in court at a later date.
