Carlos Jose Cruz-Pena, a 33-year-old pharmacy worker, was seized following the stop in Teaneck, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.
Members of his Narcotic Task Force charged Cruz-Pena with possessing the drugs for sale after finding the pills in a hidden electronic compartment, Musella said.
They sent him to the Bergen County Jail and was ordered released by a judge, with conditions, less than 24 hours later under New Jersey’s 2017 bail reform law, records show.
Musella thanked members of the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office who assisted in the arrest.
