Police noted in the affidavit of probable cause that even after putting on their overhead lights, the driver of the vehicle – later identified as 22-year-old Syeed Scott – continued to drive for a half mile before pulling into the Lucky 7 Deli parking lot at the corner of New Falls and Durham roads.
It was then that police approached both the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle. The woman, who was sitting behind Scott in the vehicle, was allowed out of the vehicle to speak with police about the fight, police said. According to court documents, it was then that Scott attempted to hand a back seat female passenger a Newport cigarette box, which police intercepted and discovered a, “clump of vegetable matter and a partially smoked cigarette of suspected Marijuana,” inside.
Through the side windows, police observed both the front passenger – identified as 26-year-old Susquehanna Law – and Scott “hunched over and moving quickly with their hands out of sight,” according to court documents. Police then reportedly observed that Law was sitting on a prescription pill bottle, when asked to move her leg, police noticed a clear baggie with suspected marijuana inside.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, Scott and Law were asked to get out of the vehicle so police could check for weapons. During their search inside the car’s glove box, police discovered a brown paper baggie that contained numerous small, clear, zip lock baggies commonly used for drug trafficking. Next to it, a small, black, zippered bag contained 98 blue glassine envelopes containing white powder, eight orange zip lock baggies containing a white rock substance, one small clear zip lock baggie containing a white rock substance, three suboxone films and 105 clear empty zip lock baggies.

Both were arraigned by Judge Frank Peranteau Sr. and sent to Bucks County Prison on 10 percent of $50,000 bail.
