The following incidents were listed in the official reports of the Northbrook Police Department. Readers are reminded that an arrest by police does not constitute a finding of guilt; only a court of law can make that determination.
DRUGS
Police on Jan. 23 who were investigating a suspicious vehicle on the 1000 block of Willow Road arrested a Wilmette teenager and two Winnetka boys after smelling a strong odor of burnt cannabis coming from the vehicle. A search yielded two pipes commonly used for smoking drugs, a jar containing a green leafy substance, a small playing card box containing 35 pill capsules, a bag of empty pill capsules, a prescription medicine patch, chewing tobacco, a digital scale, and a bag labeled “Porcini Mushrooms” containing 20.6 grams of mushrooms. Officers said Joshua Aaron Werner, 18, of 3122 Greenleaf Ave., Wilmette, was cited with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Werner is to appear in court Feb. 22.
