Marijuana Possession Arrest Reported in West Palm Beach – The Boca Raton Tribune
WEST PALM BEACH — Authorities in West Palm Beach have arrested a man on a misdemeanor drug charge following an encounter that led to the seizure of cannabis, according to official booking records released Monday evening.
Roland D. Jr. McCray was taken into custody on suspicion of possessing less than 20 grams of marijuana, a charge classified under Florida law as a first-degree misdemeanor. The arrest was logged under Report No. 551057 and formally published at 6:52 p.m. on December 29, 2025.
The arrest was carried out by the West Palm Beach Police Department. Investigators did not disclose additional details regarding the circumstances that prompted the arrest, including the specific location or whether the charge stemmed from a traffic stop or other police contact. Mr. McCray’s date of birth was not listed in the available booking information, and no additional charges were reported at the time of publication.
Under Florida statute, possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis remains a criminal offense, punishable by fines and potential jail time, though sentencing outcomes vary depending on prior history and prosecutorial discretion.
As with all criminal proceedings, the charge represents an allegation only. Mr. McCray is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
The Police Report Team of the Boca Raton Tribune will continue to follow the case as it moves through the Palm Beach County judicial system.
