An 18-year-old Danbury man was arrested Tuesday after police said he was caught with marijuana and paraphernalia inside a car parked by Tarrywile Park.
Police said they were called to Tarrywile Lake Road around 4:30 p.m. for a report of a suspicious vehicle. When officers arrived, they immediately detected an odor of marijuana emanating from a car where Carlos Espinal, of South Street, was a passenger, according to the report.
After searching the car, officers found marijuana, packaging materials and a scale, police said.
Espinal was charged with possession of controlled substance, intent to sell controlled substance, possession of illegal drugs within 1,500 feet of a school and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was released on a promise to appear in court April 6.
