OCEAN CITY, Md. - One drug arrest in Ocean City, leads police to a second, in the room next door. Ocean City Police say that on Friday morning, they arrested Jody Paull, 26, of Ocean City, for possession of marijuana. During her arrest, she reportedly told police that she was the caretaker of 37-year-old Brian Sterner, also of Ocean City, who was staying in the room next to hers.
