They arrested the driver, Gabriel A. Ortiz-Redondo, 29, of Orlando, Florida on first-degree charges of possessing the cocaine with the intent to sell it.

A judge subsequently ordered that Ortiz-Redondo remain held in the Bergen County Jail pending further court action. He was still there on Tuesday.
