Dion Moore, 40, also had nearly $1,000 in drug proceeds when he was caught in the parking lot of the Hamilton Avenue building, Sheriff Richard H. Berdnik said.
Detectives stopped and arrested the driver of a red pickup truck moments after they said they watched him buy drugs from Moore, the sheriff said.
When they returned their attention to Moore, he tossed a package of heroin to an unknown woman whom they lost sight of, Berdnick said.
The detectives arrested Moore, he said, after looking into the minivan and spotting:
· 900 glassine envelopes of heroin (estimated street value of $3,000);
· 43 zip-locked baggies of crack-cocaine (estimated street value of $400);
· 54 vials of crack-cocaine (estimated street value of $600);
· a Glock 23 handgun;
· a Colt 25 handgun that had been reported stolen;
· a small portion of marijuana (estimated street value of $300).
Moore remained held Monday in the Passaic County Jail, charged with various drug and weapons offenses, after a detention hearing that followed Friday’s arrest.
