PARSIPPANY — Patrol Officer J. Hughes conducted a random license plate inquiry at 11:55 p.m. on Sunday, October 14, on a 2018 Hyundai Tucson, which showed the registered owner had a suspended driver’s license. He conducted a motor vehicle stop and spoke to the driver, Angie Osorio-Ospina, 29, from Dover. While speaking to Ms. Osorio-Ospina, Officer Hughes detected the distinct odor of burnt marijuana.
After a brief investigation she was found to be in possession of a plastic container of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. She was placed under arrest and transported to police headquarters for processing. While there, she was charged with the following:
Possession of less than fifty Grams of Marijuana, a Disorderly Persons Offense; Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, a Disorderly Persons Offense; Driving While Suspended, a Traffic Offense; and Possession of CDS in a Motor Vehicle, a Traffic Offense.
She was released on her own recognizance pending her court date.
Editors Note: A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. Despite this accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
