A large crowd formed in front of the Chipotle restaurant and the Park and Ride parking lot as a result of the altercation.

Isn't a joints worth of weed a civil offense?

Yes, a $100 fine on a ticket for possession under 10 grams (1/3 ounce).
But he had it rolled, so there's a paraphernalia charge that could be made for the single piece of rolling paper.
Clever laws, huh?

Sounds like the bar association had a hand in drafting the law to ensure continued revenue from representing "criminals".
