Glenn R. Grossman, 39, of Mansfield was charged with possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia at 1:33 a.m. Nov. 21.
While patrolling on Route 130, officers said they saw Mr. Grossman, who was driving a white 1988 Lincoln Mark VIII, make an illegal U-turn at the intersection of Route 130 and Dunns Mill Road. Mr. Grossman had been traveling south until the turn, then was traveling north on Route 130, according to reports.
Officers stopped Mr. Grossman near the Route 295 ramp and asked him to produce identification. He told officers he did not have vehicle registration and insurance because they were with the owner of the car, who lived in Hightstown, police said.
Officers told Mr. Grossman that he was being given citations for making an illegal U-turn, failure to produce vehicle registration and driving without proof of insurance. Once he left the car, officers saw a glass pipe, which they suspected to be a crack cocaine pipe on the floor next to the driver’s seat, according to reports.
Officers then searched Mr. Grossman and found a clear plastic bag containing a white powdery substance suspected of being cocaine, police said. They also found marijuana, a narcotics tool kit, and a narcotics scale in his possession, police said. Mr. Grossman was placed in the Burlington County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.
