Canton Township police arrested an Ypsilanti woman around 10 p.m. July 1 on charges of possessing marijuana, according to a police report.

An officer saw the driver of a silver Ford Taurus take a right onto Michigan Avenue from Belleville Road on a red light causing an oncoming car to slow down sharply and honk, the report said. The officer stopped the driver who said she could not see well because her windows were fogged, according to the report.
