Schoch, who subsequently stopped the vehicle on Route 66 near Neptune Boulevard, immediately detected the odor of marijuana coming from the interior of the vehicle. The onsite investigation led to the location of over 50 grams of marijuana and a stun gun.Another stun gun was found in the possession of one of the vehicle’s occupants.

Solomon was remanded to Monmouth County Jail, pending an initial court appearance; Haskins was released on summons, pending a future court date; and the 17-year-old juveniles were released to a parent and/or a guardian pending a future family court appearance.
