A man who New Kensington police say admitted to smoking marijuana and then invited an officer to search him has been ordered to stand trial in Westmoreland County on drug charges.
The Trib reports that 30-year-old Brian Iapalucci of Jeannette was charged with drug possession and other crimes connected with an incident on July 3rd in the 900 block of Ivy Alley. According to a criminal complaint, an officer was patrolling in the 900 block of Fourth Avenue when he saw a number of people entering what he thought may have been an illegal bar. When they came across Iapalucci, he allowed officers to search him and they found a marijuana blunt and a small bag of pot was in his pants pocket, and he said he was also responsible for a bag of drugs found in a nearby car.
Formal arraignment in Westmoreland County Court is scheduled for Nov. 29.
