Teen facing drug charges

Summit Hill police reported the arrest of a 17-year-old boy on drug charges.

Earlier in March police responded to a one-vehicle crash near the White Bear intersection and observed a vehicle that had left the road and entered a nearby yard. Witnesses told officers that the teen was racing another vehicle down Route 902 in the area of “Bugzies Mountain,” when the teen lost control of his vehicle and it crashed. A search of the vehicle yielded drugs and drug paraphernalia. One person sustained minor injuries in the crash and required medical attention.

As a result the teen has been charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, careless driving, reckless driving and passing in a no passing zone.
