According to an affidavit, a Whitemarsh Police officer was on patrol in the area at about 11:30 p.m. last Saturday night when he saw a four-door sedan partially backed into a parking space at the club, somewhat blocking a lane of traffic. The officer noticed a woman in the driver's seat and a man in the passenger's seat, who appeared to be reaching toward the passenger side front door.

When the officer turned around and pulled into the parking lot, the man immediately left the car and "hurried" into 7th Heaven, while the woman also exited the car and walk toward the entrance, the report said. However, the officer began speaking with her, later identified as [Name Removed], and asking why the car was only partially backed into the space. [Name Removed] responded that she was afraid of hitting the other cars, and became "extremely nervous and evasive," the officer reported.

The officer asked [Name Removed] for her driver's license, at which point she returned to the car to find it. According to the officer, [Name Removed] attempted to conceal a black purse on the passenger side floor while searching for the license, and continued to act nervously.

[Name Removed] consented to a search of the vehicle, and inside the officer found eight jars of marijuana inside the purse, three jars of marijuana in a black bag on a rear seat, an empty jar that smelled of marijuana on the passenger side seat, "blunt shavings" on the floor of the vehicle, and an unopened package of cigarillos, the report stated.

[Name Removed] identified the man who had left the vehicle as Super, who police located on foot near the intersection of Hector and Lee streets. [Name Removed] told police that the purse belonged to her, while the black bag belonged to Super.

Both [Name Removed] and Super were taken into custody for suspicion of intent to distribute marijuana. [Name Removed] was released on $7,000 bail, while Super was transported to Montgomery County Correctional Facility in lieu of a bail of the same amount. They are next scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Jan. 8, 2013, before magisterial judge Deborah Lukens.
