Two 18-year-old youths were arrested last week after allegedly showing up at a police station in Leicester, Mass., smelling of marijuana.

Authorities allegedly noticed the odoriferous clue when Garrett R. St. Cyr came into the station Friday seeking a solicitor's license, leading them to investigate the teenager who had given him a ride, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette said Tuesday.

Police alleged that while questioning the other teenager, Joshua R. Kephart, the smell of marijuana was again present and unmistakable.

Based on videotaped evidence that showed Kephart had driven the vehicle to the station despite having a suspended driver's license, police searched the vehicle.

That search allegedly turned up a small amount of marijuana and several cans of beer, the newspaper reported.

Both teens were immediately arrested. St. Cyr faces a marijuana possession charge. Kephart faces an identical charge, along with a charge of driving with a suspended license and possessing alcohol while underage.
