Williamsburg Police arrested three people Friday after finding heroin, marijuana and 52 pieces of drug paraphernalia in their vehicle.
Officers responded to a report of drug use around 9:20 p.m. Friday in the 100 block of Boundary Street in the City of Williamsburg.
Maj. Greg Riley, spokesperson for the department, said the caller provided a description of a Mercury sedan parked in the parking lot with two males who were passing what appeared to be a syringe to each other.
Upon arrival, officers identified and approached the vehicle, which was occupied by three people. The driver was identified as 34-year-old Robert Dale Atkins Jr., and the two passengers were identified as Nicklas Brown Oneill, 30, and Kristin Leigh Kerns, 32, all from New Kent County.
Riley said while officers were speaking to the suspects, they observed a metallic smoking device near Kerns stuffed with green, plant-like material.
Officers then conducted a search and found 52 items of drug paraphernalia and a small amount of heroin.
All three were arrested and transported to the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail. They have each been charged with possession of heroin, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
