Page County Deputies on patrol late Saturday night in the area of Nodaway Valley Park, came upon a parked vehicle not in the camping area. The vehicle drew their interest because the park, located about 1.5-miles northeast of Clarinda, is closed to persons not camping, at 10:30-p.m.

A Page County Deputy approached the vehicle and noticed the passenger compartment filled with smoke. When one of the occupants rolled down a window, the Deputy could smell the distinct odor of Marijuana smoke. The three male occupants then exited the vehicle when asked to do so by the Deputy. During the investigation 18-year old Ryan Robert Michael Wilson, of rural Clarinda, was arrested for Possession of a controlled substance/1st Offense.

Two 17-year old males, also from Clarinda, were taken into custody and released to parents. They were cited into Juvenile Court. Wilson was booked into the Page County Jail on $1,000 bond. He later bonded and was released pending further court proceedings.
