Alerted by a report of a motorist driving erratically near Nursery and Marvin Ridge Roads around 6:10 p.m., police spotted and pulled her over. Approaching the vehicle, the officer smelled marijuana and the driver handed over a coin purse with a small baggie of marijuana as well as two small cigars used for rolling, police said.
A 20-year-old Norwalk woman who was a passenger in the car was not charged.
