Two 17-year-old females were arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana in the 1000 block of East Caddie Street March 13.
The girls were sitting in a parked vehicle facing a wash with the windows down when an officer on bike patrol spotted them around 4:30 p.m.
As the officer approached the vehicle, he smelled a strong odor of marijuana.
One of the girls requested that the officer search her purse because a man named Jonathan may have placed the marijuana in her purse. The officer found two baggies of marijuana.
A second officer called to assist the search, and found a small plastic container with marijuana in the second girl’s purse.
The officers also found two glass pipes and a homemade “”blowtube”” made out of a toilet paper roll that was used to smoke marijuana.
The girls denied ownership of any of the paraphernalia and drugs and also denied smoking marijuana.
One officer said he could smell marijuana odor coming from the girls’ mouths. One girl said her breath smelled like marijuana because she was previously kissing a boy who had smoked marijuana.
The mother of one girl and the father of the other girl were contacted, and they came to pick up their daughters.
Both girls were cited and released to their parents.
