BELMONT — Two local teens have been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after police found then near Pout Pond allegedly smoking marijuana in a car with two minors in it.

Jason A. Reistrom, 18, of Belmont is also charged with possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, and driver Tishara L. Rollins, 18, of Belmont was charged with transportation of a controlled drug in a motor vehicle.

Lt. Richard Mann said police have been watching for slow-moving cars because of the recent BB gun vandalism spree and an officer noticed Rollins' car near Pout Pond.

He said there were four occupants in the car he found in the town parking area. The officer noticed a strong smell of marijuana coming from the car when he approached it.

Reistrom and Rollins have been released on personal recognizance bail and the two minors were released to their parents. Both are expected to appear in Laconia District Court on Feb. 18.
