Man Had Pot in Plastic Baggies, Police Say

A Quakertown man who was allegedly found in possession of "two small plastic Ziplock baggies of marijuana" will be charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana, Hellertown Police said in a news release.

Police said that shortly before 12:30 a.m. on May 4, David J. Osorio, 25, of the 500 block of West Broad Street, was seen sitting in a Nissan SUV parked behind the 1100 block of Main Street.

Osorio was initially seen with another man, but when officers approached the man who was with Osorio walked east toward Main Street and "disappeared from sight," police said.

Osorio, who was reportedly sitting in the driver's seat, was questioned by police about "why he was sitting in his vehicle in the dark," according to the news release.

He said he was "talking to a friend," police said.

Police said that as officers spoke to Osorio, pieces of a cigar and tobacco leaves were observed on the ground outside the driver's side door of the SUV, and added that they determined Osorio "had been attempting to smoke marijuana."

Subsequently, they said, Osorio handed over the two small baggies that allegedly contained marijuana.
