Newark New Jersey police recently arrested an East Orange NJ man accused of possessing crack cocaine, heroin, and a loaded handgun on a city street.

The suspect, a 44-year-old East Orange resident, was reportedly seen dealing drugs outside a building near the intersection of North Munn Avenue and Tremont Avenue in Newark, NJ. Detectives with the Newark Police Division Special Enforcement Bureau went to the area after getting a number of complaints about the suspect’s alleged activity.

Newark NJ detectives allegedly saw the suspect walking near the building and removing drugs from a fanny pack. When police officers searched the suspect’s fanny pack, they allegedly discovered a .25-caliber handgun, 84 vials of crack cocaine, 190 glassine envelopes filled with heroin, and just under $2,800 in cash.

The suspect was arrested and charged with illegal possession of a handgun, possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession of a controlled dangerous substance (CDS) near a school zone, and possession of a CDS near a public housing complex.

If the suspect is convicted on the most serious charged of illegally carrying an unregistered handgun, he could wind up spending several years behind bars.
