Tempe Police reported the following incidents Tuesday:
A 19-year-old Tempe man was arrested on June 18 on the 900 block of East Apache Boulevard on marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to a police report.
Officers were initially trying to contact another person at the apartment next door regarding an unrelated investigation, police reported. While police stood in the community hallway, the man walked out of the apartment and yelled at the occupants to “hit that bong again,” according to the report.
They looked over, saw the officers, then fled the area, police reported. The officers approached the apartment the subject walked out of and could immediately smell the marijuana coming from the residence, police reported.
A man opened the front door and greeted police, according to the report.
Once the door was open the smell of marijuana intensified and several glass bongs were sitting in plain view inside the residence, police reported. The man let the officers inside the apartment and told them the bongs belong to his roommate who was out of town, according to the report.
On the table officers located three bags of marijuana, police reported. When police asked if he had any illegal substances in his room he said he didn’t; they searched the room and found one glass bong, police reported.
The man’s friend was also in the room when police contacted him, but he was not interviewed because he didn’t speak English well, according to a police report. Neither of the men had medical marijuana cards, police reported.
The man was transported to Tempe City Jail, where he was booked and held to see a judge, police reported.
