Soccer moms smoked pot during practice

Two soccer moms were hauled to the police station with children in tow Wednesday evening after allegedly smoking marijuana in a van while waiting for practice to end.

Deborah Spangler, 40, 25 Rochester Hills, the driver of the van, was charged with drug abuse and passenger Jessica Riddell, 39, 992 Pom Court, was charged with drug abuse and possession of drug paraphernalia, both minor misdemeanors, at about 9 p.m., according to Trenton police reports.

An officer was called to the soccer fields on Pierson Road on a complaint of two women sitting in a maroon van smoking marijuana.

Officer Scot Johnson said he could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from the van when he talked with Spangler, who said they were waiting for their children to get done with soccer practice.

Spangler denied having anything to do with smoking marijuana, even after the officer said he could smell it.

A search of the van turned up nothing, but when Johnson looked in Riddell's purse he allegedly found a half-smoked marijuana cigarette inside a box of Marlboro cigarettes. She was placed under arrest and then admitted to officers that both she and Spangler had been smoking marijuana, according to police.
