The Greenburgh Drug and Alcohol Task Force stopped a person who was reportedly acting suspicious on East Home Place in Irvington, and arrested the 18-year-old who was in possession of marijuana and concentrated cannabis.

Police arrested the Colorado resident, who said he was visiting the area, on March 27 after 2 p.m. and charged him with possessing a criminal controlled substance in the seventh degree, a class A misdemeanor.

Dissolving high THC level marijuana in a solvent like alcohol makes concentrated cannabis. After it breaks down the liquid is strained and left to dry into a waxy crumbled yellow substance that is mixed with more marijuana and smoked, according to police.

The 18-year-old was also charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation. He was arrested and released on $100 cash bail and will appear in court on April 22.
