A Mineola man was one of three arrested in Bethpage for drug possession early Wednesday morning, Nassau County police said.
Eduardo F. Correia of 10th Avenue was one of three men special operations officers saw smoking marijuana in a 2010 Ford parked by a Bethpage 7-Eleven, police said.
Police said Correia, 20, had a metal grinder, a small bag of cocaine and five pills of Alprazolam, the anti-anxiety drug sold under the brand name Xanax.
Officers saw Gage Doughty of Bethpage, 21, placing a glass pipe containing marijuana into the center console of the truck, police said.
Vincent Scarimbolo, 19, had a small container of liquid marijuana, police said.
All three were arrested without incident, police said.
Correia was set to be arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead on Wednesday for fifth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and three counts of unlawful possession of marijuana, police said.
He was also arrested Feb. 15 for criminal possession of cocaine and marijuana and on April 9 for menacing and criminal weapons possession, criminal court records show.
Doughty and Scarimbolo were charged for marijuana possession and released on desk appearance tickets, police said. They are due in court for arraignment on May 9.
