Neighbor's Call Leads to Marijuana Possession Charge in Farmington Hills

A neighbor's call about voices at a vacationing neighbor's home early Monday morning led to the arrest of an 18-year-old Farmington Hills man. 

According to the police report, the neighbor didn't expect to hear voices, because the homeowner was on vacation. When police arrived, they found a vehicle parked in the driveway, with its windows fogged over. When the driver opened his window, a cloud of marijuana smoke billowed out.

The driver produced a patient identification card and was carrying an amount of marijuana consistent with the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, the report indicated. The 18-year-old who was arrested, a passenger, did not have a patient card, but did have a water bong concealed between his legs.

Police also found a black, nylon backpack with the water bong, which contained marijuana packaged in jars and a scale. The driver was released; the passenger faces charges of marijuana and narcotics paraphernalia possession.
