Sgt. John Adronaco smelled burnt marijuana after stopping the vehicle and speaking with the driver, 20-year-old Deiontae Rivas, Detective Lt. Ronald Klein said.

Rivas and his two passengers "had different stories about where they were going and where they came from," Klein said.

After finding a marijuana blunt along with the checks and credit cards, Adronaco took all three into custody, the lieutenant said.

Rivas and his passengers -- Jahih Yates, 19, and Maraiytha Rodriguez, 20 -- were charged with having the bogus documents. Rivas also was charged with marijuana possession.

All three were released pending court action.
