After stopping the sliver Audi on Hopper Street, Officer Craig Bonagura noticed that the driver, 33-year-old Shanea Dunbar, “making furtive movements toward the center console as if she was attempting to conceal something,” Capt. Ammen Matari said.
Bonagura then spotted a clear bag containing the bundled heroin, Matari said.
Dunbar – who had outstanding warrants out of Elmwood Park and East Orange -- was charged with drug-related offenses, issued several traffic summonses and sent to the Passaic County Jail, the captain said.
A judge later ordered her released, pending further court action, under New Jersey’s 2017 bail reform law.
