Drug Bust: Troy Police Nab Rochester Hills Teen For Possession of Synthetic Narcotic

TROY, MI — A 21-year-old Troy man and an 18-year-old Rochester Hills man were arrested on narcotics and other charges following a disturbance in the 1000 block of Brentwood Drive in Troy on March 11.

Shortly after midnight, officers were dispatched to the home after the homeowner indicated that the Rochester Hills man was an unwanted guest. Troy officers spoke with the teenager and upon searching him, found his fanny pack to contain eight pills that were later identified as alprazolam, according to police reports.

The Rochester Hills man denied ownership of the pills. Officers located the same pill on top of a mini-fridge that the teen had been sitting near. Reports said officers also found a green vial containing a suspected marijuana cigarette inside, an orange vial that contained an unknown white powdery substance, and a white container that contained suspected marijuana hash oil.

The suspected marijuana was field tested with a narcotics test kit with the officers receiving a positive reaction for the presence of marijuana. Rochester Hills teen was then arrested and charged with illegal possession of a synthetic narcotic and possession of marijuana.

The 21-year-old Troy man, who police reported as being the homeowner’s son, was arrested as well and charged with obstruction of a police officer. Police reports said the man had gone to the basement of the home and would not follow officer’s instructions.
