Westport Teen Busted With Acid Tabs, LSD Powder, Marijuana

While on routine patrol, Westport's K9 officer noticed a vehicle with four occupants parked in the cul-de–sac on Pioneer Road at about 3 a.m. Friday morning.

When the officer approached the vehicle and spoke to the driver, he could smell marijuana coming from inside the vehicle, police said.

When asked if there were any illegal narcotics in the vehicle, one of the rear passengers, identified as 18-year-old Matthew-Mergim Trdevaj, of 6 Robert Lane, Westport, handed over marijuana and several other items he used to create a "joint" for the others in the vehicle, police said. 

Trdevaj was searched and the officer located a small baggie with a white powder substance in his wallet. Trdevaj admitted the substance was LSD powder, police said.
