Drug Offense

Rayshawn Kidd, 42, of Trenton, was arrested about 11:50 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 14, and charged with possession of crack cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and hindering apprehension after she and another person were stopped by Officer Richard Laird III after Laird, while on patrol, observed them near the front door of the Mercedes-Benz of Princeton auto dealership in the 2900 block of Brunswick Pike (Route 1) after the business had closed for the night, Ubry said.

While questioning the pair about what they were doing on the lot, Laird discovered that the name Kidd had provided to him was false, Ubry said. After discovering her true identity, he said, Laird learned she was wanted in connection with warrants from Ewing and Trenton and took her into custody.

Subsequent to that arrest, Kidd was found to be in possession of a quantity of crack cocaine and related paraphernalia, Ubry said. He said Kidd’s male companion was released without being charged.

Vehicle Theft

At 10:48 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 16, management of the Lawrence Lexus auto dealership in the 2600 block of Brunswick Pike (Business Route 1) notified police that a 2010 Lexus valued at $27,800 had been stolen from the lot sometime between Jan. 26 and Feb. 1, Ubry said.
