They also reported finding 45 glassine folds of heroin, hypodermic syringes, and 16 Alprazolam pills in his car.

Pollock -- who records show has a heroin-arrest history spanning several years -- was arrested and charged with heroin possession and other drug-related offenses.

He was released to a responsible adult pending a court hearing, they said.
