A nonworking headlight resulted in a written warning for a Tamaqua man, but what officers found during the traffic stop resulted in the man being cited for drug-related charges.

An officer on patrol at 11:30 p.m. Jan. 30 in the area of the Five Points intersection saw a white Subaru approaching from the east. The Subaru's front headlight was out and the driver made a left turn onto Mauch Chunk Street. The officer followed and conducted a traffic stop, identifying the driver as William Walker Willing, 44, of 70 Hunter St., Tamaqua.When asked for his license and registration, Willing had a difficult time accessing his glove compartment due to the many items stacked up, blocking it. As he opened the driver's side door to place a container on the ground, the officer noticed a cut straw nestled in the driver's-side door handle. Willing said he found it on the ground and "just picked it up."Willing agreed to exit his vehicle and submit to a search of his person and of the vehicle. Officers found a small white container and keychain with green vegetable matter, as well as a brass fitting for an air compressor, also filled with green vegetable matter, in his pockets. Two more cut straws were found inside the car in the driver's area.He was given a written warning for the headlight and charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
