Queens Man Arrested For Pot Possession in Middletown Police Department’s Parking Lot

Arturo Munoz, 25, of Elmhurst, NY was arrested for possession of marijuana in the Middletown Police Department parking lot on Saturday.

Munoz apparently didn’t get the memo that de Blasio doesn’t run Middletown. After parking next to a police vehicle Munoz told Patrolman Daniel Flannigan, who noted the strong odor of raw unburnt marijuana, that the drug was in his vehicle.

Munoz told officers he traveled from New York to complete the sale of a motorcycle. The prospective buyer had suggested meeting at a police department to close the cash sale for the safety of both parties.

The Queens resident was arrested for possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana and lost his pot. He was processed and released with a summons.

Deputy Chief Paul Bailey told MMM that he doesn’t know if Munoz sold his motorcycle.
