Nicholas Pizza, 27, of Haskell turned himself in last week and was charged with drug- and weapon-related counts before being released pending court action, Police Chief Dean Ackermann said.

He also received traffic summonses for driving with a suspended license and with having bogus license plates and obstructed windows.

Pizza, after being processed, asked for help entering himself into a detox program, the chief said.
