Man Charged After Giving NJ Police Wallet With Marijuana
HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. — Dec 28, 2015, 8:14 AM ET
A northern New Jersey man faces drug charges after handing police officers who asked for his identification a wallet containing marijuana.
Santos Vasques-Hernandez, of Hackettstown, faces drug possession and disorderly conduct charges after the Christmas Day incident.
Hackettstown police say it happened about 8 p.m. on Main Street when officers were called to the scene for a report of an unresponsive, unconscious man.
Authorities say police determined Vasques-Hernandez was breathing and seemed to be intoxicated.
Police say he then became "combative" and began swinging his fists at officers who asked for identification.
Vasques-Hernandez handed his wallet to officers who smelled marijuana, then found a baggy of the drug in the wallet.
It's unclear whether Vasques Hernandez has an attorney. He was released pending a court appearance
