HOMMY VELAZQUEZ The T-Mobile in Pleasantville may have been closed, but it was still open for those seeking drugs, police say. Hommy Velazquez, 40, was allegedly selling heroin out of the shuttered business at 113 S. Main St. The department received numerous tips about the illegal business, and an investigation was started by Detective Miguel Lugo, under Sgt. Angelo Maldonado, police said. Last week, police searched the business and found Velazquez had 46 grams of heroin, crack cocaine and ammunition for a handgun, Capt. Matt Hartman said. Velazquez was arrested on several drug charges and is in the Atlantic County Justice Facility on $200,000 full bail.
