A New York man was arrested in Blair County after drugs were found during a traffic stop, court documents state.
Michael Emerson Foss, 43, of Newark, N.Y., was pulled over by a state trooper about 9:40 p.m. Monday on I-99 southbound in Antis Township, due to dark window tint and the fact the sedan was following another vehicle too closely at 70 mph.
While speaking to Foss, who was driving the sedan, the officer noticed a THC vape in plain sight. When Foss was asked to step outside of the vehicle, the officer said he appeared nervous. When asked if other drugs were in the car, Foss said he had about an eighth of an ounce of marijuana and the THC vape pen inside the car. Police were given consent to search the car and in addition to the items Foss mentioned, found 30 grams of cocaine and 120 Xanax pills, the report states.
Foss claimed ownership of the drugs and said it was for personal use, police reported.
Foss was arraigned Tuesday before Magisterial District Judge Benjamin F. Jones on a felony charge of possession with intent to deliver along with misdemeanor counts of possession with intent to deliver, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, along with summary charges of no headlights and improper sunscreening.
Unable to post $75,000 bail, he was remanded to the Blair County Prison. His preliminary hearing is July 25 before Magisterial District Judge Fred B. Miller.
