Detective Christopher Nichols stopped a red Jetta on northbound Route 17 for an unsafe lane change just before noon, Detective Sgt. Jason Liaban said.

After smelling the pot, Nichols deployed K-9 Ryker, who indicated drugs were inside the vehicle, Liaban said.

A search turned up marijuana and a .380-caliber Taurus TCP handgun, the sergeant said.

Brian Guerrero, 27, of Paramus, remained held Thursday night in the Bergen County Jail pending a detention hearing on drug and weapons charges.
