During a patrol Thursday, Harlem police officers conducted a traffic stop on a wanted individual.
Officers noticed the strong odor of marijuana from within the vehicle, according to a Facebook post from the City of Harlem Police Department.
“The driver was then removed from the vehicle and detained without incident, where he was found to be armed with a handgun,” the post said.
That led to a probable-cause search of the vehicle that resulted in the discover of about two pounds of marijuana and “a large sum of cash.”
The driver was taken into custody and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
