Two individuals were arrested for drug offenses in Harvard Square Monday night after a stop by a Harvard University Police officer.
The officer, on routine patrol, entered the cemetery on Garden Street after smelling marijuana.
The subsequent drug bust ended with two individuals in custody, and a third released pending a drug test.
The Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) arrested two individuals for possession of marijuana, a Class D narcotic.
"We're looking at four bags of a green leafy substance," HUPD spokesperson Peggy A. McNamara said.
Until a drug test is performed, police cannot state that the substance is marijuana.
A 16-year-old male from South Boston was charged with one count of drug possession Class D (marijuana), with intent to distribute, and one count of possession of a Class E drug (prescription narcotics).
One 16-year-old female, who was charged with one count of drug possession Class D, was released into the custody of her parents.
