Jason Cintron, of Hammonton, had pleaded guilty to first-degree possession with the intent to distribute crystal methamphetamine, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.

Cintron was the target of a lengthy narcotics investigation initiated by the Liberty Mid-Atlantic HIDTA Task Force. A search warrant executed on Cintron’s residence in Hammonton resulted in the recovery of approximately one pound of crystal methamphetamine, as well as a handgun magazine loaded with hollow point bullets, authorities said. 

Another warranted search on Cintron’s Ford F150 truck revealed approximately 25 bricks and three bundles of packaged heroin (approximately 276.5 grams), a plastic bag containing approximately 57.4 grams of raw suspected heroin/fentanyl, four bags containing a total 25.1 grams of crystal methamphetamine, and $459 cash, they said.

This investigation was led by the Liberty Mid-Atlantic HIDTA Task Force with the assistance of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office’s Gangs, Guns, & Narcotics Unit, and Hammonton Police Department.
