When they walked over to see what he was doing there, he quickly put a pack of cigarettes up to his mouth, and swallowed something. Not suspicious at all. Unfortunately for Bryan, he started choking on whatever he'd scarfed down.

Ramos was arrested for criminal possession of a controlled substance, tampering with evidence, and criminal trespassing.
