HILLSBORO
Possession of marijuana, THC,
and drug paraphernalia
An 18-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man were arrested on drug charges, and a 14-year-old boy was turned over to his parents after a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier was stopped at 9:11 p.m. June 5 at C and Ash Sts. for not having working headlights.
Officer John Huebert called for deputy Joshua Meliza’s drug dog, Karma, to sniff outside the Chevy. After Karma indicated drugs might be inside, a grinder, a vape pen, and a plastic bag containing 0.05 of a gram of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, were found, according to Huebert’s report.
