BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA \u2014 A traffic stop led to a haul of weapons and drugs recovered by the Bensalem Township Police Department this week.<\/p>\n
Robert Cleary, 22, of Philadelphia, was pulled over Saturday in the area of Street Road and Tillman Drive when he was driving a blue Buick Sedan with heavy window tint that violated the PA Vehicle Code. <\/p>\n
The officer smelled a strong odor of marijuana and saw drug paraphernalia in the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Cleary stated that he did not possess a medical marijuana card. He refused a search of his vehicle, but had on him a plastic straw with suspected narcotics residue on it in his pocket, police said.<\/p>\n
Cleary was released, but his vehicle was towed to the Bensalem Township Police Department. A search warrant of his car was approved.<\/p>\n
That’s when Bensalem Police recovered a .22 caliber Pistol that was loaded in the center console; a 9mm Springfield Pistol that was loaded behind the driver’s seat, a Winchester shotgun, a FIE revolver, a broken-down rifle, and an extended 9mm magazine loaded with 20 rounds.<\/p>\n
Police also recovered suspected fentanyl, marijuana, suboxone strips, gun holsters, a digital scale, and other drug paraphernalia. Bensalem police determined that Cleary did not have a permit to carry a concealed firearm and that the recovered 9mm pistol had been reported stolen out of a vehicle in March in Philadelphia. <\/p>\n
On Thursday, Cleary turned himself in to the Bensalem Township Police Department with his attorney. <\/p>\n
Cleary was charged with Carrying a Firearm without a License, Receiving Stolen Property, Possession of Controlled Substances, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Operating a Vehicle with Windshield Obstructions (Sun Screening). <\/p>\n
He was arraigned by District Justice Michael Gallagher and was remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $200,000 bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA \u2014 A traffic stop led to a haul of weapons and drugs recovered by the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[191,193,192,194],"class_list":["post-2470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bensalem","tag-bensalem","tag-bensalem-headlines","tag-bensalem-news","tag-bensalem-township"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
