Pot Smoked Around Campfire, Police Say

Lower Saucon Township Police say a campfire gathering at which marijuana was allegedly being smoked by minors was recently busted.

In a news release, police said most of the minors fled the Woodfield Drive party when police arrived, but an 18-year-old man whose backpack was left behind was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Police said a glass smoking pipe and 22 grams of marijuana were found in the backpack belonging to Alexander Butrie, 18, of the 2100 block of Morning Star Lane, Lower Saucon.

Police said officers were initially dispatched to the June 22 campfire for a marijuana odor complaint.
