Lower Saucon Teen Charged With Dealing Marijuana, Police Say

A Lower Saucon Township teen is charged with felony manufacturing, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver marijuana after township police say he was allegedly found in possession of more than 30 grams of the drug along with a digital scale and items used to package marijuana following a traffic stop Friday night.

In a post on the department’s Crimewatch website Tuesday, police said Nicholas Daniel Rosengrant, 18, was stopped as he was about to exit the closed Polk Valley Park, which officers were checking because of recent vehicle break-ins there.

“Upon further investigation police detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle,” police said, adding that an officer allegedly “observed marijuana residue in plain view” inside it.

After obtaining consent to search Rosengrant’s vehicle, police said they found the marijuana and other items along with two tubes of suspected THC oil, which is a marijuana derivative.

Rosengrant is also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and a summary charge of trespassing, according to police and court records.

Following a preliminary arraignment before District Judge Nicholas E. Englesson Saturday, Rosengrant was released on $15,000 unsecured bail, according to county court records.

A preliminary hearing in his case is scheduled for Nov. 6 at 9 a.m. before District Judge Alan Mege in District Court 03-2-04 in Lower Saucon Township, court records state.
