Angela Santana was charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and fentanyl after members of the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office Narcotics Task Force executed a search warrant in her home on 25th St, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said. Prosecutors also arrested Juan De Los Santos, a 33-year-old Union City resident and hit him with similar charges, Suarez said.

While executing the search warrant, Santana was seen discarding suspected cocaine down a bathroom drain, Suarez said. Investigators seized over 25 grams of cocaine, over a dozen fentanyl pills and drug paraphernalia, Suarez said.

Santana was released pending her next arraignment on Tuesday, April 25.
