The Dope Was OK. The Cell Phone Wasn’t

The burning smell led not to a drug bust but to a weapons charge, when Officer Chris Lawrence stopped a car with two men inside it in the Hill.
The stop occurred Tuesday around 3:20 a.m. Here’s what happened, according to police spokesman Officer David Hartman (with his direct words in quotation marks):
Lawrence was on patrol at Washington Avenue and the Boulevard. He decided to check the license marker of a car he’d noticed missing a front plate and circling the block. It came back registered to a woman. He decided to pull the car over.
“He smelled burnt marijuana coming from the car. The pungent smell, in this case was ‘K2,’ a ‘legal marijuana like substance,’ which is often purchased at gas stations and convenience stores.”
The driver had a suspended license. Meanwhile, another cop who’d arrived on the scene, Christopher Fennessay, “spotted an odd-looking cell phone in view in the center console. He picked it up and realized the phone’s dial pad was fake.
“He looked closer and saw that all of the supposed phone features were in fact fake. He pressed the button on the side, and became privy to its real function. It was a fully functioning and charged 1,000 kv. stun gun. It emitted an electrical charge from two probes on top of the phone.”
This wasn’t going to end well for the driver, who turned out to be a convicted a felon (and therefore not allowed to carry weapons.” The cops arrested him on multiple weapons and motor vehicle charges.
Arrests In E. Rock Stabbing: Police charged three men between the ages of 17 and 21 on warrants for allegedly stabbing a man multiple times after encountering him near State and Pearl streets on Jan. 6 at 8:40 p.m. Detectives Wayne Bullock and Dave Zaweski led the investigation under Sgt. Herb Sharp’s direction.
