HAZLETON &mdash; City police Wednesday added drug possession charges against a 17-year-old boy from Nanticoke, who was charged as an adult last week on felony assault and robbery offenses.
				Fritz Tazhier Napoleon, of East Noble Street, was in possession of marijuana, rolling papers and Xanax pills when he was arrested along with Dashaun Malik Murray, 24, of Pine Street, Freeland, and a 14-year-old boy from Garwood Street, Scranton, during a traffic stop on James Street, Hazleton, on Jan. 11.
				Police were searching for Napoleon and Murray in connection to an assault and robbery incident on Jan. 8.
