A northern New Jersey man faces drug charges after handing police officers who asked for his identification a wallet containing marijuana.
Santos Vasques-Hernandez, of Hackettstown, faces drug possession and disorderly conduct charges after the Christmas Day incident.
Hackettstown Police say officers were called to Main Street around 8 p.m. that day for a report of an unresponsive, unconscious man.
Authorities say that when officers arrived at the scene, Vasques-Hernandez was on the ground. They determined that he was breathing and seemed to be intoxicated.
Police say he then became "combative" and began swinging his fists at officers who asked for identification.
Vasques-Hernandez handed his wallet to officers who smelled marijuana, then found a baggy of the drug in the wallet.
It's unclear whether Vasques Hernandez has an attorney. He was released pending a court appearance.
