Lt. Glenn Ender was screening entrants when Labeat (Robert) Cefa put the marijuana cigarette and other personal items in the tray, Capt. Jacqueline Luthcke said Monday.

Labeat, a 37-year-old Albanian immigrant who was graduated from Ridgewood High School, was issued a summons and released pending a Municipal Court hearing.

Records show Labeat has previous arrests, including for marijuana, in Florida, and was awaiting trial on grand larceny charges from this past October out of New York City.
