A 19-year-old stopped in Torre Annunziata with drugs and a knife has returned to freedom after resolving his case through a plea-bargain procedure with a suspended sentence, according to a report by Metropolis Web.
The young man was identified by the local outlet as Salvatore Forestiero. Police reportedly stopped him in via Tagliamonte while he was riding a scooter.
During the check, officers reportedly found 30 sachets of marijuana weighing 52 grams, a precision scale, 190 euros in cash and a 23-centimetre knife. A subsequent search of the home in use by the young man reportedly uncovered a further 25 marijuana sachets weighing 32 grams.
He was arrested on suspicion of unlawful possession of drugs intended for dealing and reported to the judicial authorities over the alleged carrying of a weapon or object capable of causing harm.
According to Metropolis Web, the case was resolved through patteggiamento, the Italian plea-bargain procedure, and the young man was released with the sentence suspended. The exact length of the agreed sentence was not stated clearly in the available report.
