On Friday, September 13th, 2013, at approximately 4:30 pm, Lt. Scott Crater stopped a 21 year old Branchburg man, whom the officer thought looked suspicious, in front of the Peapack Gladstone Bank, located in the Whitehouse Mall.

The officer recognized signs that the man, identified as Ryan M. Waterson, was under the influence of drugs; a subsequent search of Waterson revealed that he was in possession of heroin and several syringes. Waterson was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia; he was released on his own recognizance with a pending court date.
