Village Police say they stopped a vehicle driven by Marrero on Laurel Street for a traffic violation on Tuesday, February 22. As the officer was talking to Mills, he saw Marrero remove something from his pocket and tried to conceal it. The officer was able to retrieve the item and too both Marrero and Mills into custody.
Police say they seized over 10 grams of cocaine and over $2,900 in cash.
The pair was charged then released in accordance with New York State bail reform laws.
