That being said, a "Caddy man" was pulled over on Oct. 6 at 12:46 a.m. by Cuyahoga Falls Police and was found to be in possession of an open bottle of liquor, a glass pipe and a bag of marijuana. The man was cited with open container, drug abuse and drug paraphernalia and has been summoned to Stow Municipal Court.
