Born Graham, 27, refused permission to search the car to Officer Jon Umanzor, who stopped the white 2006 Chevy Impala on Route 4 west near Forest Avenue, Police Chief Kenneth Ehrenberg said.
Umanzor became suspicious after smelling raw marijuana, the chief said, so he summoned a K-9 narcotics team from the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office.
The dog “made several positive indications on the vehicle,” but officers couldn’t get a consent from Graham, so they impounded the car and obtained a warrant.
“Located in the glove box of the Impala was a loaded 9 millimeter Glock 17 handgun,” Ehrenberg said. No pot was discovered, he said.
Graham turned himself in, was booked and then was released on $25,000 bail.
He is charged with unlawful possession of a handgun, felon in possession of a handgun and possession of a large-capacity handgun magazine, the chief said.
