LINDEN &045; The police department served a search warrant at 609 South Mobile St., Apt. 8, Friday, arresting Alex White for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The department was notified of suspicious behavior surrounding the dwelling, which prompted several weeks of surveillance of the domicile. Police Chief Jeff Laduron said the department gathered enough information form its surveillance to obtain a warrant to search the premises.

The investigation, headed by Sgt. McClure, came to fruition at 4:40 p.m. when the eight-man department, with a K-9 unit, raided the apartment. No officers were injured as the department served the warrant and tuned up enough evidence to arrest White, 25.

White was charged with possession of marijuana for purposes other than personal use, due to the 20.4 grams of the drug found on the premises. Smith was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia because scales for weighing the marijuana, a grinder for crushing it and $265 in cash were also found in the apartment.
