No Helmet Leads To Meth Bust

OCEAN CITY — A Pennsylvania man was arrested on possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine last week after getting pulled over for not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle and later attempting to hide the drugs from police under his bike’s seat.

A little after 1 p.m. last Friday, an OCPD officer responded to the parking lot of an uptown pub to assist an MTA officer in the resort for Cruisin’ weekend with a traffic stop for a motorcycle operator identified as Kodi Olivencia, 26, of Reading, Pa., operating without a helmet.

A background check revealed Olivencia was wanted on a warrant in Pennsylvania for possession of stolen property. When Olivencia was placed under arrest, he voiced concern about having someone pick up his motorcycle. The officer told him it was on private property and it was up to the property owner to decide if they wanted to have it towed or not.

Olivencia had a drawstring-style backpack under the windscreen of the motorcycle and officers asked if we like to take the unsecured backpack with him. According to police reports, Olivencia was hesitant and asked if the backpack could be placed under the motorcycle’s seat instead. An MTA officer attempted to put the backpack under the seat, but the space was already occupied by a sweatshirt.
