COLEBROOK — A Colebrook police officer initiated a motor vehicle stop inside a trailer park on Oak Street at 11:50 p.m. on Sept. 9 due to misuse of registration plates.
The officer observed several known drug users inside the vehicle and ordered them to exit.
Upon exiting the vehicle, the officer observed a pipe in Anthony Cushing’s rear pocket.
The officer detained the 29-year-old Columbia, New Hampshire, resident and removed the object along with another pipe located beside it.
The pipe contained a powdery residue consistent with illicit controlled drugs.
A subsequent search of his person revealed more paraphernalia with residue.
Cushing was charged with possession of a controlled drug and contempt of court.
He was currently on bail for several drug distribution charges and domestic assault.
Cash bail was set at $5,000 based on the new charges and existing bail conditions.
Cushing was transported to the Coos County jail to await arraignment.
