They arrested the driver, identified as Pedro A. Luciano, 32, of Willingboro and Paul Harris, 35, of Camden, both unemployed, following Wednesday’s southbound Route 95 stop in Carlstadt near MetLife Stadium, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.

Luciano and Harris were charged with possession with the intent to sell a kilo of cocaine.

The Narcotics Task Force detectives sent them to the Bergen County Jail only to have a judge order them released pending future court action less than 24 hours later.
