Darby Township Police announced the arrest of a man on gun and drug charges after they say he was involved in an accident after being under the influence.
On Thursday, Dec. 22, shortly before 3:00 p.m., police were dispatched to the 600 block of Sharon Avenue for a two-vehicle accident. Upon arrival, officers say they came in contact with the driver of a white 2014 Ford Fusion.
Authorities say the driver, later identified as Justin Williams, displayed pinpoint pupils, slurred speech, and had a strong odor of burnt marijuana coming from his person. Responding officers also say a zip lock baggie containing suspected marijuana was protruding from Williams' hoodie pocket. Police say they questioned Williams about his potential possession or use of narcotics, which he responded to by saying, "I was smoking earlier, and I have some weed on me," before he handed officers the baggie containing the suspected marijuana.
Authorities say they placed Williams in custody for suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance before they later found other illegal substances on his person.
