According to the reports, the Mercer County Task Force has arrested and charged the Defendant with various different drug offenses. A search warrant was executed on his home, which is located on Emory ave on June 21, 2017. The execution of the warrant uncovered\u00a0about 150 grams of powder and crack cocaine, a digital scale and packaging material. The cocaine has a street value of more than $7,500. It is unclear at this point in time what type of information was used in order to obtain a search warrant for the Defendant\u2019s home, however, it most likely involved some form of either an undercover or confidential information buys.As a result of what the search warrant uncovered, the Defendant was most likely charged with the following offenses:Possession of Cocaine in violation of NJSA 2C:35-10;Possession of Cocaine with the Intent to Distribute in violation of NJSA 2C:35-5;Possession of Drug Paraphernalia in violation of NJSA 2C:36.Based on the fact that the Defendant was caught with more than 1\/2 ounce of cocaine but less than 5 ounces all his cocaine charges are second degree felony offenses. As such, he is facing up to a decade in prison on the possession of the cocaine with the intent to distribute charge alone.
