After a car crash that sent two passengers to the hospital, an Ashburnham police detective took the operator of the vehicle home even though he said he didn’t need a ride. When they arrived at the residence, the man opens the door and the detective sees a woman in the living room holding a crack pipe. She ultimately gets arrested for possessing Adderall without a prescription.
