A Woodside resident was nabbed Wednesday on drug charges after the police stopped his vehicle on 43rd Avenue, according to the NYPD.
Omar Carbajal, who lives on 50 Street, was driving on 43rd Avenue at about 10 pm when the police noticed he ignored a stop sign at 38th Street.
The police pulled him over in Sunnyside, according to the NYPD, and discovered that he was driving with a suspended license and that his 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee smelled of marijuana.
Carbajal, 29, was arrest for driving with a suspended license and taken to the 108 Precinct in Long Island City. When the police conducted a standard search of his vehicle they discovered 2 ounces of Phencyclidine (PCP) in the trunk.
The precinct then requested that its canine unit take a look through the vehicle and the dog smelled drugs in the center console. After getting a warrant, the police said they discovered 5 ounces of cocaine, more than 8 ounces of marijuana and 60 amphetamine pills in the console.
