Stop Smoking Tempe, AZ. Mesa police arrested a Tempe man for using an electronic cigarette to smoke heroin. Danika Worthington from the Arizona Republic discovered a court document showing how police found Mark Patrick Newman, aged 24, outside his home in Tempe. Patrick was sitting in a BMW in the driveway. Police said it appeared as if he had been smoking. The cops found black tar heroin in Newman’s sock and an electronic cigarette with a melted black tar substance inside the center console, according to the court document.
The officers also discovered some pot and paraphernalia in the car. Newman told police he smoked marijuana earlier in the afternoon and was smoking heroin when police arrived, the document says.
Newman was then arrested on multiple charges of possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia AND they hit him with the use of an electronic device in drug transactions.
This little incident occurred on July 2, right after Mesa police pulled Newman over for switching lanes without using his signal Police found 30 bucks worth of black tar heroin in Newman’s sock. After a K9 smelled around a bit, they found drug paraphernalia used for smoking heroin..
BEST PART: Newman told the police in July that he smoked three to four times a week but was not addicted to heroin.
CHIEF CONCERN: The original article uses his full name, Mark Patrick Newman, which leads me to wonder if he will ultimately wind up being implicated in any local serial killings or assassination attempts. Having a name like Mark Patrick Newman, should be probable cause. Read this sentence like a news reporter: "Multiple bodies were found buried in the back yard of a one Mark Patrick Newman." Or they this one: "The alleged gunman is one Mark Patrick Newman." Feeling me on this one? Either way, I hope Mr. Newmen gets the help he needs!
