The passenger, Mason Louis Visele, 19, of Great Mills, handed Tpr. Johnson a small bag of suspected marijuana.
A search of the vehicle revealed a small revolver in between the passenger seat and the middle console of the vehicle, and Visele advised that the weapon was his.

Visele was charged on a civil citation for Marijuana Less than 10 grams.
Visele was also charged with Minor in Possession of a Firearm and other weapons charges. He was held pending a bond review with the District Court Commissioner.
