Drug possession in garage
JERSEY SHORE Travis Nichols, 36, of 314 Oak St., Jersey Shore allegedly had crystal meth and marijuana in the garage behind his home when Tiadaghton Valley Police searched it Jan. 19.
Justin Segura, a Tiadaghton Valley Police Officer, said police investigated the area after receiving calls about a woman allegedly banging on the garage doors and yelling about a man having meth and “doing stuff” in the garage.
The man, Nichols, allegedly denied having drugs in the garage, called the situation “bull (expletive) and crazy” and walked out of the garage.
“Based off my training and experience, I have learned that people tend to separate themselves from the narcotics, which I believe that this is what Travis was doing,” Segura wrote.
