Milford police recently arrested a teenager for the alleged sale of marijuana after being caught with 64 grams of the drug inside a vehicle.

The arrest took place in the late evening hours of Friday, Nov. 4, when an Oakland County Sheriff’s Department dispatcher issued an alert for a silver Toyota passenger vehicle that was driving erratically, cutting off drivers, and a driver possibly smoking marijuana in the vehicle.

The person who called dispatchers reported seeing people inside the vehicle display a vulgar hand gesture, the driver slam on the brakes, and a lit object being passed inside and smoke coming from the car.

An officer caught up with and stopped the vehicle at Old Plank Road north of Pontiac Trail.

The car had a driver and four passengers, all male.

Officers searched the car and found a mason jar, a package containing numerous plastic baggies, one baggie containing a green substance and one baggie with a brown substance consistent with mushrooms.

Also found was a canister of incense, a Triton T2 Digital Scale, rolling papers and an AXE deodorant stick.

One of the passengers said the items were his and he was arrested for possession with intent to deliver marijuana and hallucinogens, as well as possessing narcotic paraphernalia.

When measured, the marijuana collected weighed 64.6 grams, and 5 grams of mushrooms were collected.

The suspect said he sold marijuana to people around 14-years-old to college-aged freshmen.

The suspect’s cell phone and $32 were also confiscated by police, and the suspect was released to his parents pending warrants.
