“You can’t make this stuff up,” said Northport Police Chief Bill Ricca commenting on a pileup of bad decisions made by a certain Arielle Bonnici, 26, of Huntington, New York.

On the evening of Monday, Dec. 4, Bonnici went to pay her ticket for illegal marijuana possession. While pulling into the parking lot of the Village Justice Court, which shares premises with the Northport Police Department, an officer noticed her cutting off an unmarked police car while on her phone, the police stated in a release.
Strike one.

She then drove her Jeep into the area designated for police vehicles only and parked in a marked spot reserved for the police chief.
Strike two.
When officers approached her car, she rolled down her window and a cloud of marijuana smoke billowed out at the officers. “They then observed her to be in possession of marihuana and a pipe containing marihuana,” the department stated.

In addition to her May 11 ticket, Bonnici was issued another ticket for marijuana possession and also a traffic ticket for using a cellphone while driving. She was then directed inside to the courtroom to be arraigned on her new charge and to answer the old one. The court adjourned both cases until Jan. 29, 2018.
