A Bangor man allegedly ate some marijuana Thursday night while police checked his license information during a traffic stop.

Benjamin E. Lam, 20, of Bangor, smelled of marijuana when he was stopped at 10 p.m. on Hammond Street for an expired registration, according to reports. As Officer Dennis Townsend walked to the rear of Lam’s vehicle to speak with dispatchers, another officer watched Lam pull a bag from his pocket and eat the contents, according to reports.

A bag of marijuana was taken from Lam, who said he had eaten some of the drug. A search of his car uncovered an electric scale with marijuana residue. Lam was summoned for falsifying physical evidence and possession of a usable amount of marijuana.

A man police had been searching for Friday was found at 9:10 p.m. in Pickering Square in Bangor with a pellet gun and a knife hidden in his pants.

Justan Adams, 18, of Bangor, was also allegedly caught trying to hide a small amount of marijuana in the central console of the car in which he was a passenger. Police were looking for Adams to serve him a protection order.

“The pellet gun could have been easily mistaken for a real gun,” Officer Shawn Green said Friday. “[Adams] kept saying, ‘It’s just a toy, it’s just a toy.'”

Adams was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon and summoned for possession of marijuana. The driver of the car, James Doyle, 19, of Carmel, was also summoned for possession of marijuana.
