Dale Markle, 27, of Washington, was arrested on Thursday, April 9, and charged with possession of cocaine after police found several vials of the drug in his car, which was parked at police headquarters. Markle had come to police headquarters at about 7:20 p.m. to turn himself in on a $145 warrant that originated out of Clinton Township, police said. While Markle was inside posting bail, Patrolman Matthew Murphy, who was just beginning his patrol shift, walked past a vehicle in the parking lot of police headquarters and observed a crack pipe clearly visible on top of the center console, police said. Patrolman Murphy soon determined that Markle had driven the vehicle to police headquarters.
A subsequent investigation produced five vials containing cocaine and cocaine residue inside of the vehicle, police said.Markle was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, being under the influence of cocaine and operating a motor vehicle while in possession of a controlled dangerous substance, police said. Bail was set at $5,000.When he was unable to post the necessary bail, Markle was transported to the Hunterdon County Jail. Patrolman David Formalarie assisted.
