Police arrested two suspects for drug possession after a routine traffic stop on Wednesday, Nov. 5.
At approximately 8 p.m. police stopped a car in the area of Robertson's Chevrolet on Cranberry Highway. The operator - Ronald Pena, 21, 1 Chapel Lane - was driving with an expired license.
While speaking with Pena the officer noticed a small blue pill on the suspects and several loose pieces of marijuana. Assisted by another officer, he asked Pena and 20-year Old Dacia Jardin, 19 Meadowlark Drive to exit the vehicle.
During a search the police found three small bags of what they believe was marijuana, a small pill wrapped in plastic, a glass marijuana pipe and a replica Glock 17 handgun under the passenger seat.
Both suspects were charged with possession of a Class D substance as well as possession of a Class E substance. Pena faces additional charges of unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
