Mason Jars, Pills, Scale Found In Westlake Car

WESTLAKE, OH — Police found mason jars with suspected marijuana, various narcotic pills and a scale in a car that was stopped on Columbia Road. Two people, a 22-year-old and a 19-year-old, were both arrested and charged with felony drug trafficking, police said.

The suspects' car was on Columbia, between Detroit and Hilliard, when a patrolling officer saw their vehicle commit a traffic violation. The two suspects' car allegedly almost caused a collision.

The driver apologized to police and said he made a mistake while driving. However, the 19-year-old passenger seemed "out of it," according to police.

It turned out the 22-year-old North Olmsted man that was driving the car had a warrant for his arrest. When he stepped out of the car, a small bag of marijuana was sitting on his seat. Officers then searched the man's car.

During the search, police found mason jars with suspected marijuana, a scale and various narcotic pills. The passenger and the driver were both arrested and charged with felony drug trafficking.

Mason jars full of suspected marijuana were found inside a man's car after it was impounded, Westlake Police said in mid-June. The suspect in that case was also a 22-year-old North Olmsted man.
