BY DANIEL HUBBARD

WAYNE, NJ - A North Jersey man and woman were caught with seven pot brownies during a traffic stop on Preakness Avenue early Wednesday morning, police said.

Officer Adrian Sulejmani stopped a 2003 Toyota Matrix that was traveling well below the speed limit on Preakness Avenue at 1:45 a.m., said Detective Capt. Laurence Martin.

Officer Sulejmani smelled marijuana inside the car and found seven brownies with marijuana baked inside them, two large jars and eight baggies containing suspected marijuana, a digital scale, and three marijuana smoking pipes, Martin said.

The driver, Luis Gonzalez-Rojas, 21, of Morristown, sells food laced with marijuana for $10 an item because he just graduated and “can’t find employment,” Martin said.

Gonzalez-Rojas and a passenger, Karen Gonzalez, 24, of Paterson, were charged with possession of marijuana over 50 grams and possession with intent to distribute marijuana, the captain said. Gonzalez-Rojas was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and issued motor vehicle summonses for failure to maintain lanes and possession of marijuana in a motor vehicle.
