The occupants of the vehicle were separated and a search was conducted in which patrol located a syringe in the middle console in the front seat of the vehicle.
The vehicle's owner, Anthony F. Cross, 25, 57 Bright St., told patrol that he was a card carrying member of the needle exchange program but could not produce a card, according the report.
