A man is accused of bringing a large amount of weed, crack and fake bank checks to Dutchess County.
On Wednesday, New York State Police from the Poughkeepsie barracks arrested 25-year-old Casey L. Smith of Waterbury, C.T., on three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, possession of a forged instrument, felonies, criminal possession of marijuana, criminal use of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors and a violation for possession of marijuana.
Around 2:10 a.m., troopers stopped a 2002 Ford Explorer on State Route 55 in the town of Lagrange. While interviewing the driver, Smith, a strong odor of marijuana was detected, police say.
