According to Lt. Patrick Jones, officers were dispatched to that parking lot around 2:30 p.m. for a report of possible drug activity. Two officers approached a parked car containing three males, who were reportedly all asleep.

After waking them up, Jones said the officers were able to get the males out of the car and identify them. One of the males, later identified as Theroux, admitted to having a needle on himself. The officers seized the needle which had a liquid substance in it, suspected as heroin.

Police placed Theroux into custody and the other individuals were released from the scene.
