ABINGTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A “full-time” student is facing charges after police say he was drinking and doing drugs with other youths inside a car that was parked outside of an apartment complex in Abington on Saturday night.
Officers responding to a report of youths potentially using drugs at the Avana Apartment Complex around 11 p.m. found a running vehicle with three people inside, according to the Abington Police Department.
Police say offices quickly determined that the individuals were underage and in possession of alcohol. A subsequent search of the vehicle allegedly revealed a backpack containing THC-infused candy bars, pre-rolled marijuana blunts packaged for sale, a large amount of cash, a digital scale, and numerous sandwich bags filled with marijuana.
The suspect, whose name was not released, told officers that he did not have a job and was a full-time student, according to police.
He is charged with several counts of possession with intent to distribute both class C and class D drugs.
During booking, police say the suspect was allowed to make several phone calls to secure his bail, which was set at $3,540. An officer then allegedly overheard the suspect tell his mother that additional money was hidden within his vehicle.
A short time later, a woman brought the cash to post bail, admitted that she found the money hidden within the vehicle and that the suspect did not have a job, according to police.
The money was seized as proceeds of illegal narcotics sales.
