Tyheim McGhee, 28, of Asbury Park, pleaded guilty on Nov. 6 to the distribution of over ½ ounce of cocaine, and possession of over five ounces of cocaine with the intent to distribute, according to Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago.
The guilty plea stems from a cooperative investigation involving detectives from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Gang Task Force, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force, in February and March 2023.
During the investigation, McGhee sold a total of over a ½ ounce of cocaine to an undercover officer on four separate occasions, Santiago said.
The investigation culminated when members of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics and Criminal Enterprise Unit, Monmouth County Sheriff’s Department, and Asbury Park Police Department, made a warranted search on McGhee’s Borden Avenue residence on March 24, 2023.
During the search, police recovered over five ounces of cocaine as well as paraphernalia used in the sales, Santiago said.
