ORANGE, Conn — A Milford man woke up to police finding him sleeping in a school bus and finding nearly a dozen pounds of marijuana from his car early Thursday morning.

Officers found the car owner, Brendan O'Connor, 55, asleep inside one of the school buses. Police took O'Connor into custody.
Police seized his car and found a large bag with marijuana inside it, weighing around 11 and a half pounds, as well as packaging materials, scales, and cash.

He was held on a $25,000 bond and was arraigned in court Thursday morning.
