Suspected marijuana dealers arrested at Centennial Park
On Friday at approximately 1:40 p.m., Paso Robles Police Department detectives from the Special Enforcement Team patrolled the Centennial Park area in the 600 block of Nickerson Drive after repeated complaints of juveniles openly smoking marijuana in the park and surrounding area. Detectives contacted a group of juveniles who were observed actively smoking marijuana in the park.

Two of the juveniles contacted were found to be in possession of marijuana packaged for sale. A total of 74 grams of marijuana was seized from the juveniles, as well as packaging materials, and digital scales. The juveniles were placed under arrest for possession of marijuana with the intent to sell, a felony.
Both juveniles were transported to the Paso Robles Police Department where they were booked into custody. They were later released to the custody of their parents with a pending court date in Juvenile Court. As the suspects are juveniles, their names and photographs will not be released.

Big bust
hang in out in the park w week, bags n scale… IDIOTS
Wait what time? Because it's 1:38 right now…
Nvm. I got my days mixed up. I live right next there…
I'm glad they got caught but there needs to be more patrolling at that park, especially after school. I know a lot of kids have to wait for parents there and they shouldn't have to be exposed to it.
I used to live near this park when I was about middle school age and there are always high school kids there during and after school smoking weed openly and harassing younger students, I'm surprised a police presence hasn't been more involved in the area during previous years.
I thought since prop 47 it was only a misdeanor…

Too bad I missed that. I was thinking I could have been selling twinkies and hot pockets and stuff.
Selling weed is a felony… that is sad.
Just possession is. When it's packaged for individual sales, then it becomes a felony.
gotta support the prison industry somehow
