Wilton Police Make Two Marijuana Arrests
Police found two separate drivers to be in possession of marijuana last week.
Adriana Welby, 22, of Ridgefield was charged with possession of less than one-half ounce of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia following a motor vehicle stop on Ridgefield Road near Linden Tree Road on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 10:10 p.m.
According to police, a car was pulled over because its right brakelight and left taillight were out. Upon investigation, officers detected the odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle, which led to a search of it. Officers located a small bag of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the purse of Welby, who was a passenger in the car.
Welby was issued an infraction ticket for the offenses.
