Weed and Vest in Northside Searches; One Charged

Richard Rowland

Police were busy across the city on Thursday conducting searches within hotspots of the Old Capital. Now, it is a crime for anyone to be in possession of a bullet proof vest, but in a search through Munoz Alley, police discovered a Safari Land brand armor with serial number SLK-zero-two-five-three-seven. Over on New Road, a search in an abandoned lot yielded two plastic bags containing a total of two hundred grams of weed. In both cases no one was in the area and the items were labeled as found property. But in a third search at the residence of Richard Rowland on Kelly Street, police found a plastic bag with two hundred and fourteen grams of weed.  The twenty-two-year-old was arrested and charged for Drug Trafficking.
