A Cruz Bay puff has put a St. Thomas man in jail facing felony cocaine and cannabis charges, police said Monday.
Umoja Zohar Sofer Greer, 25, and two friends were allegedly enjoying a joint on beach chairs in Cruz Bay around 8:30 Friday evening when police arrived. Marijuana consumption is not yet fully legal in the U.S. Virgin Islands and smoking on beaches has been illegal since 2016.
Police allegedly found a mostly-consumed marijuana cigarette and Greer’s backpack, which contained more than two ounces of cannabis, three ziplock bags of psilocybin mushrooms, and one small ziplock bag containing cocaine. Police also found a digital scale.
He was charged with felony possession of illegal narcotics. Sofer Greer’s mother posted $5,500 bail.
