Investigators stopped Kevin Ascencio, 25, in his car behind the Holiday Inn on Route 17 and charged him with possession of the heroin in a school zone with the intent to distribute it and possession of drug paraphernalia.

They also gave him a trio of summonses for having a brake light out, not inspecting his car and having drugs in a motor vehicle.

A Bergen County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit also responded.

Ascencio was being held on $150,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail.
