On June 26, 2010 at 0657 hours, Troopers from the Salisbury Barrack of the Maryland State Police responded to the intersection of Rt. 50 and Walston Switch Road in Salisbury for a property damage crash. Upon arrival, Troopers learned that a 2004 Chrysler SUV with PA registration was west on Rt. 50 and failed to stop for the red signal at Walston Switch Road. The Chrysler collided with a 2005 Toyota Camry operated by Joseph Long, 54, of Parsonsburg. The collision caused the Camry to spin out of control and strike a 1993 Mercury Tracer operated by Kim Jackson, 52, of Salisbury. No injuries were reported at the time of the crash. During the investigation Troopers noticed the odor of burning MARIHUANA coming from the Chrysler and its four occupants. Troopers arrested the driver of the Chrysler, Ryan Lerner, 21, of Ford City PA, along with passengers Amber Snyder, 20, of Ford City PA., a 17 year old male juvenile and a 15 year old male juvenile, both also from PA. All four subjects were charged with several counts of possession of MARIHUANA and possession of drug paraphernalia. Several smoking devices and a small baggie of marihuana were found inside of the vehicle. The adults are awaiting a hearing with the Wicomico County District Court Commissioner while the juveniles are to be released to the custody of their parents.
