An 18-year-old from Rockville, who authorities said set up marijuana deals with high school students using text-messages during the day, has been charged with drug-related offenses, Montgomery County police said Wednesday.

Authorities identified the suspect as Arian Mohammadi, who they said graduated from Walter Johnson High School last year. Detectives working the case, who watched him at an outdoor mall during the lunch hour, pulled him over in his Toyota 4-Runner on Tuesday. In the truck, police said, were 15 small bags of marijuana, a glass marijuana pipe, two ecstasy tablets, $1,200 in cash and three teenagers.

Two of the passengers, 14 and 17, are students at Walter Johnson High School, police said. Officers told the teenagers' parents what had happened, but there wasn't enough evidence to charge them, police said. The third passenger, an 18-year-old, is not a current student and wasn't charged, police said.

Mohammadi was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, possession with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school and other offenses.
