Body Cavity Search Of Gloucester Township Man Yields 'Significant Amount' Of Heroin
GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ (CBS) – No "butts" about it – one Gloucester Township man had a very uncomfortable ride to the hospital.
According to Gloucester Township police, officers were patrolling the area of Revere Run/Loch Lomond Drive on Oct. 30th due to reports of recent increased criminal activity in the area when they observed suspicious activity in the parking lot of a Wawa that appeared consistent with a drug deal.
Two vehicles were stopped by police leaving the lot. In the first, a Mazda, a bag of heroin was seen on the floor of the vehicle. Heroin, clonasepam pills and hypodermic syringes were also found in the car. Jonathan Ryan, Charles Yates and Earl Shone were all arrested for Possession of CDS/Syringes.
The driver of the second vehicle, Anthony Adams, was also stopped near Wilson Avenue in Washington Township. Adams had reportedly just met with the occupants of the first car. Police found a hypodermic needle in the vehicle and both Adams and his passenger, Tyeisha Jackson, were arrested for possession of a hypodermic needle.
During the ride to the police station, officers reportedly saw Adams reaching in the rear area of his pants while in the patrol car. A search of his body cavities was conducted at the hospital, and Adams was found to be hiding a significant amount of heroin in his body.
All five arrested are facing various drug-related charges.
