Detective Sgt. Tim O’Shaughnessy summoned backups after looking into the 2014 Nissan Altima parked at the River Road pharmacy Monday night, Sgt. Brian Metzler said this morning.

Arrested were the driver, 41-year-old Sean Gill, and his passenger, Erin Harper, 34, who Metzler said was found at police headquarters with 43 bags of heroin stuffed into her underwear.

The gun was in her purse, its handle sticking out, the sergeant said.

The Hanover, PA couple were both charged with drug possession with the intent to distribute it and possession of a hypodermic needle.

Harper also was charged with illegal weapons possession and possession of hollow-point bullets.

Both were being held on $10,000 bail each in the Bergen County Jail.
