Friday, March 27, 2009

YOUNGSTOWN — A Falls Avenue woman is free on bond following arraignment on charges of trafficking in marijuana.

Jamelle L. Square, 34, of 450 Falls Ave., was arrested in her home around 4:30 p.m. Thursday after officers arrived with a search warrant.

Police said no one responded to their announcement of their presence with a warrant, so they broke in through the front door.

Officers said they found Square coming out of a second-floor bedroom and later found five plastic bags, each containing an ounce of suspected marijuana, and a black digital scale in that bedroom.

A search of the property turned up small bags of suspected marijuana and suspected crack cocaine in the garage, police said.

Square spent Thursday night in jail and was arraigned Friday.
