PARSIPPANY — Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Patrol Officer Ryan Taylor conducted a random plate inquiry at 12:48 a.m. on Saturday, February 10 while patrolling Arlington Plaza on a 1999 Chevrolet Malibu, at which time he was alerted to two active traffic warrants for the registered owner.
He conducted a motor vehicle stop and spoke to Miya Singleton-Ward, 24, Hillside. After a brief investigation Ms. Singleton-Ward was placed under arrest and also found to be in possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. She was transported to police headquarters and charged with Possession of less than 50 grams of Marijuana; Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (grinder); Driving While Suspended and Possession of CDS in a Motor Vehicle.
She was released on her own recognizance pending her court date on the Parsippany charges. Newark Municipal Court and Union Municipal Court also released her on her own recognizance on after giving her new court dates.
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.
