A local teen who turned to the authorities after a drug deal went sour at the Mall at Rockingham Park on Sept. 26 now faces criminal charges, according to police.

Authorities said Samantha Medina, 17, of Salem informed mall security officers and then a police officer that two fast food restaurant employees had refused to pay her for the roughly $40 bag of marijuana she had sold them at about 10 p.m. on Saturday.

Medina allegedly told authorities that the D’Angelos employees had taken the small bag of weed during the hand-to-hand transaction before slamming the door shut on her without paying. According to police, after further investigation the officer recovered a small bag of marijuana and took all three into custody.

Vincent Brown, 17, of Salem and Danielle Fiore, 21, of Kittery, Maine, were both charged with possession of a controlled drug. Police charged Medina with the sale of a controlled drug. All three were released on summons pending their arraignment at Salem District Court, according to authorities.
