PARSIPPANY — While patrolling the area of Knoll Country Club at 8:37 p.m. on March 12, Patrol Officer Ernest Elston and Michael Sprung observed a 2003 Chevy Malibu parked in the Amphitheater parking lot after the park had closed for the night.
The vehicle was found to be unoccupied, so the Officers began to check the surrounding area. A short time later they made contact with a 19 year old Parsippany resident, along with another male from Boonton.
After a brief investigation the resident was placed under arrest and transported to Parsippany Police Headquarters were he was charged with Possession of Under 50 Grams of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was released on his own recognizance pending his 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.
