TOWN OF LOCKPORT — Niagara County Sheriff's deputies charged a Lockport man with drug possession and a woman with endangering the welfare of a child during a traffic stop Tuesday afternoon.
According to the report filed by NCSO, during a traffic stop that resulted in a Leandra's Law violation charge, patrol could smell marijuana coming from the vehicle. Asking the vehicle's occupants if they had any marijuana, one of the passengers — Rico Vasquez, 20, 3435 Ewings Road — said that there was a bag in his door. Patrol was also advised that there was a pipe used to smoke pot in the vehicle.
Patrol then searched the vehicle and found a jar containing marijuana and a second pipe for smoking marijuana. Vasquez stated that all of the marijuana in the vehicle belonged to him. He was issued an appearance ticket for the Town of Royalton Court and is scheduled to appear on July 15.
Patrol also observed a young juvenile in the vehicle. Another passenger in the vehicle, 20-year-old Sarah J. O'Connor, 42 Harvey Ave., stated she was the juvenile's mother.
