Three face charges following late-night patrol in West Reading park

A borough police officer on patrol at 10:30 p.m. found three people in West Reading Park after the park had closed. He found that one of them, who was under 21 was on probation and had been drinking, as well as smoking pot. A second man had an open container of alcohol. The third suspect, a girl, was taken to her home by another cop. The second man was allowed to leave, but after he did an officer found a marijuana blunt under the bench where he’d been sitting. After he was arrested he said the pot under the bench belonged to him. All three now face charges.
