Crack and weed were found in his pockets and a larger bag of the smokeable blow was later found in his shorts.

And in the Schenectady, NY man’s backpack was a Smith and Wesson .38 revolver with six rounds loaded, cops report.

  • Criminal Possession of a Weapon- Loaded Firearm,
  • Theft of Service,
  • Violation of Local Law,
  • and Unlawful Possession of Marijuana.
