Josephine Dimoplon became the center of an investigation with the Secaucus Police Department in early May, when a concerned citizen tipped them off to her alleged drug-dealing activities, Chief Dennis Miller said.
On May 17, at 7:46 p.m., Dimoplon was stopped by the department's anti-crime unit for failing to use her turn signal, according to Miller. Sure enough, she was found in possession of cocaine and arrested, the chief said.
Secaucus Police K-9 Unit, Police Officer Tyler Pein and K-9 Brix were called to the stop and confirmed that scent of illicit drugs was emanating from Dimoplon’s vehicle. A later search of the car uncovered even more cocaine, police said.
Dimoplon had less than a half-ounce of cocaine, Miller said. She was charged with various drug offenses then lodged in the county's correctional facility.
