MARINERS HARBOR — Police found crack and a loaded gun inside a man's car after they pulled him over for turning without signaling, prosecutors said.
Joseph Deleo, 18, was driving his 2016 Ford Mustang at 10:50 p.m. Thursday when officers saw him make a left turn at Lockman Avenue and Continental Place without using his blinker, authorities said.
When they pulled him over, Deleo allegedly had a lit marijuana cigarette in the center console and they found 21 grams of crack, two large bags of pot, a scale and $9,390 in cash in the car, prosecutors said.
Deleo was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminally using drug paraphernalia, criminal possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of marijuana, the Staten Island District Attorney's office said.
His bail was set at $150,000 and he's due back in court on Friday, according to online court records.
His lawyer could not be reached for comment.
