Busted Smoking Pot In Police Parking Lot

Ocean City police said they caught three men smoking pot in the parking lot of their headquarters.

Officers were in the parking lot of the Public Safety Building in the process of their shift change at about 8 a.m. on Tuesday when they noticed a black Hyundai with the windows down and three men in and around the vehicle.

As officers passed the men, all from Cranberry, Pa., they said they noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.

Officers approached the three men, identified as 19-year-olds Vance Austin Embry, Wayne Michael Jelinek and Julian Dominick Jordano, and ordered them to exit the vehicle.

During a vehicle search, officers said several bags of marijuana, paraphernalia and dextroamphetamine -- a schedule I controlled dangerous substance -- were discovered.

Embry was charged with possession of marijuana and three counts of possession of paraphernalia. Jelinek and Jordano were charged with possession of a dextroamphetamine.

After an initial appearance by an Ocean City District Court Commissioner, all three men were released on their own personal recognizance.
