Ricardo Castellar, 24, told officers who asked if he needed medical attention that he had candy in his bag, the authority’s Joseph Pentangelo said this morning.

When he opened it to show them, they said, they spotted several small folds.

Castellar “volunteered that he had heroin in his pants pocket and shorts,” Pentangelo said.

He was charged with drug possession.
