The source said police opened up a cigarette box in the vehicle and found a "roach."
Thicke was taken to a police station and issued a summons. He was only there for about 15 minutes and wound up signing autographs for the staff.
The 34 year old singer, husband to "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" star Paula Patton, released his latest album, "Love After War" last year.
In a December interview on New York's Power 105.1 to promote the release, Thicke was asked about past drug rumors, and he replied, "Oh gosh, let's just put it this way, I've never met a drug that I didn't like," he said.
"But when the baby shows up, you gotta focus [on that]. Baby first," he added, referring to his son, Julian, who was born in April 2010.
