Police cited a 33-year-old Stamford woman on minor drug charges last week after finding a small amount of marijuana and smoking gear in her car during a traffic stop.
At about 10:48 a.m. on Sept. 3, an officer stopped the woman for traveling 41 mph in a 25 mph zone on White Oak Shade Road near Brookside Road, according to a police report.
Approaching the car, the officer detected a smell of burnt marijuana and called for the department’s K-9 dog, Apollo, who had been working an extra-duty job in town, the repot said.
During a search of the vehicle, the dog found burnt marijuana cigarette ends in a small pill bottle where the spare tire goes, as well as a multi-colored smoking pipe inside a blue pouch and another box with a small amount of pot in it.
The operator was cited for possession of less than .5 ounces of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia and speeding.

Police are investigating a report that a Dewalt compound miter chop saw worth about $500 was stolen from a Kelley Green construction site.
It happened some time between 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 1 and 9:38 a.m. the following day, according to a police report.
Construction workers at the site, a residence, said that they had put it inside the house prior to leaving the day before, but that the home at that time had no locks, the report said.
One of the workers told police that a garage door that had been closed on Sept. 1 was open the next day when he and others arrived, the report said.
