Officer Adrian Sulejmani was on a safety and security detail when he spotted the car at the Route 46 motel, Detective Capt. Laurence Martin said.

Approaching the driver's side, he immediately smelled marijuana, Martin said.

The driver, 38-year-old Larry Pulliam of Newark, didn't have a driver's license -- but did have a partially-smoked joint and an outstanding warrant out of Lyndhurst, the captain said.

Sulejmani took Pulliam into custody and found the heroin, as well as $740 in suspected drug cash, Martin said.

Police processed Pulliam at headquarters before releasing him under New Jersey's 2017 bail reform law.

They charged him with drug possession and distribution and issued him summonses for driving while suspended, among other counts.
