BROADVIEW HEIGHTS, Ohio
Drug abuse: Royalton Road
On Dec. 1, police observed a blue Jeep SUV with heavily tinted windows and no visible plate traveling south on Interstate 77.
The driver immediately pulled off the highway at Royalton Road.
The officer located the Jeep at a nearby gas station.
While talking to the driver, who wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, the officer smelled marijuana and observed familiar marijuana edible packaging on the passenger seat.
A search of the SUV yielded mushrooms, a digital scale, rolling papers, clear baggies and a marijuana joint.
Due to the fact that the 19-year-old driver wasn’t impaired, he was allowed to leave the scene after being cited for drug abuse, possession of drug paraphernalia, tinted windows and no seatbelt.
Fraud: Golden Lane
On Dec. 3, a Golden Lane resident came to the police station after discovering that he was the victim of fraud.
The man told the officer that a week earlier, he had received a text message asking if he recognized a one-cent charge to ParkWhiz.
He didn’t, so the resident logged online to his credit card account, where he learned that his credit card statement now had a Florida address.
It turned out that someone had tried to make a $413 Southwest Airlines charge, which was denied.
While the man wasn’t out any cash, he wanted the incident to be on file.
