A LaCrosse teenager faces drug-related charges after Madison police stopped him and a friend for skateboarding on State Street Sunday.
Suspect Tyler Anthony Zink, 18, was arrested on tentative charges for possession of Hydrocodone, possession of drug paraphernalia and for having a skateboard on a city roadway. Hydrocodone is a schedule II narcotic and a painkiller commonly used in cough medicine.
Madison Police also cited suspect Alexander Mickelson, 17, for having a skateboard on a city roadway.
While the officers were talking to the suspects, Zink was acting suspicious, police said. Zink was trying to place his hands into his pockets and denied the activity when an officer referenced his behavior, Payne said.
An MPD canine assisted police in the investigation that helped to to discover Zink was in possession of Hydrocodone, Payne said.
Zink was eventually transported to the Dane County Jail, police said.
