Charged were Brianna Holmes, 21, of Saylorsburg, and Vincent Gilliam Jr., 31, of Philadelphia.

Police said they stopped the vehicle for a license plate offense and smelled an odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. Gilliam, the passenger, handed over a roach with burned marijuana residue that he had been smoking and was also in possession of a partially-empty Bud Light Lime beer.

Police said two vials of marijuana were located in Holmes’ purse.
