Neal Garrity, 34, of Egg Harbor Township pleaded guilty Thursday, Nov. 3 to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and unlawfully possessing ghost gun parts with a large capacity magazine.
The arrest came after a warranted search of Garrity's home on June 10, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.
His plea calls for four years in state prison when he is sentenced on Dec. 14.
During the months of May and June, the New Jersey State Police conducted an undercover investigation into Garrity disturbing narcotics in and around Atlantic County.
After numerous controlled sales of narcotics made by Garrity, the investigation culminated with a search warrant for his residence on Boston Avenue and his automobile. Fentanyl and other drugs were seized along with a large sum of cash, the prosecutor said. Parts to assemble a ghost gun were also located.
This was a joint investigation with the New Jersey State Police Woodbine Station, New Jersey State Police Metro South Unit, New Jersey State Police T.E.A.M.S. South Unit, New Jersey State Police K9 South Unit and New Jersey State Police Troop A Strategic Investigation Unit.
