A Ramapo College student faces numerous drug charges after police say they found various drugs in his dorm room Monday.

Mahwah Police were called to the single-occupancy dorm room at 10:45 a.m. after Ramapo officials "noted what they believed to be a strong odor of marijuana" during a routine inspection for fire safety purposes, Mahwah Police Chief James N. Batelli said.

When police entered the dorm room, which belonged to 19-year-old student Samuel D. Finkelstein of Wayne, they "also detected a strong odor [of] marijuana and ... observed items commonly used to smoke marijuana in plain view" in what could have been a drug-dealing operation, authorities said.
