Officers were dispatched on a call of someone taking a car from a New Canaan home without permission at 8:47 p.m. Monday, Aug. 21, police said.
The car was found shortly thereafter in the parking lot of Walgreen's at 36 Pine St. with one person inside, police said.
Officers noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle, police said.
During the investigation, officers found marijuana, a metal grinder with marijuana residue, rolling papers, a glass jar containing 303 Xanax 2-milligram pills, a package of various cigars, two boxes of zip-lock bags and $1,420 in cash inside the car, police said.
The occupant of the car — Aaron Zachary Kaplan — told officers the items all belonged to him, police said.
Kaplan was arrested and charged with the sale of a controlled substance, sale of hallucinogen/narcotic, use and possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance.
He was held on $10,000 bond for a court appearance on Aug. 22.
Kaplan was not charged with taking the car without permission because the owner did not want to pursue to charge, police said.
