YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: The arrests of more than 325 people in North Jersey were being announced today as part of a joint anti-heroin initiative in Paterson spearheaded by Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli with his counterparts from Passaic and Morris counties.
Nearly 100 of those charged are alleged users and dealers from Bergen County. They come from all but a few of the county’s 70 municipalities. Most of the rest are from Passaic and Morris counties, with some from Sussex, Hudson, Middlesex and New York State.
Authorities said they seized 32 guns, $25,000 in U.S. currency, nearly 12,000 bags of heroin and 1,200 grams of raw powdered heroin — with a combined value of nearly a half-million dollars.
The majority of arrests involve possession, sometimes with the intent to sell the drug. But in some cases charges include eluding, child endangerment, destruction of evidence (for deliberately swallowing drugs), possession of stolen property and possession of other drugs, including crack and prescription drugs.
Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp and Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes were joining Molinelli for a news conference at his Paramus office.
Nearly an hour earlier, Molinelli released the names, ages, hometowns of those arrested, along with the charges, as part of the initiative (SEE BELOW).
In a rare step for a lawman, the prosecutor extended the services of his office, without criminal charges, to anyone whose children, siblings or spouse have drug problems.
At the same time, he has warned parents that that their children could be prosecuted for sharing a drug — even a single Oxycodone pill — that kills someone.
Molinelli has gotten the message out through a series of public talks and open letters financed with money forfeited by criminals.
