Cops: Man Asked Us for Meds, We Found Pot

A complaint of suspicious activity around 4 a.m. on May 7 led to the arrests of a Hopatcong woman and a Stanhope man, police said.

Police said officers responded to a report of four unidentified males standing on a resident's property. Victoria Riser of Hopatcong and Frank Melick of Stanhope were found in a car across the street, with Riser in the front and Melick in the back, police said.

Police said Riser's breath smelled of alcohol.

Police said Melick asked an officer to retrieve diabetic medication from a bag in a nearby van. While searching the bag for the medication, an officer found a bag of marijuana, a smoking pipe and "several other items used to smoke marijuana," police said.

Riser was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, failure to exhibit documents and refusal to submit to a breath test. Melick was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both were released, police said.
