Three people were charged with drug counts following a traffic stop in Summit Hill.

Police said on March 28 around 9 p.m., officers stopped a vehicle along Route 902 for a loud exhaust system. The driver was identified as Nathaniel Scott Goff, 19, of Jim Thorpe. While speaking with Goff officers detected the odor of burned marijuana coming from the vehicle. Goff admitted to having marijuana in the vehicle.

The front seat passenger was identified as Jonathan Robert Herman, 18, of Lehighton; and a back seat passenger was identified as Devon Michael Herman, 19, of Lansford.

A consent search was conducted and found in the driver side door panel was a small baggy of suspected marijuana. The rear seat had a book bag containing two marijuana smoking devices with burned marijuana residue inside them, a black digital scale and a yellow and black rubber container with a brown tar-like substance inside which was later identified as hash oil.

All three were taken into custody and transported to the borough police station where they were read their Miranda rights, which they waived and provided written statements.

Goff admitted the marijuana on the driver’s side door panel was his but no one admitted to owning the seized contraband.

As a result, police said all three were charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a small amount of marijuana.
