An Atlantic City man and woman were arrested this week with 110 bags of heroin and a stolen gun, police said.
Sgt. Andrew Leonard and Detective Anthony Abrams pulled over the couple in the area of Indiana and
Mediterranean avenues at 9:44 p.m. Tuesday, for careless driving and tinted windows, according to the report.
While talking to Omar Butcher and Nia Lovelace, the officers smelled burnt marijuana and saw a joint in the center console, Sgt. Kevin Fair said.
Butcher, 25, was driving with a suspended license.
An investigation led to searches of the vehicle and a residence nearby, Fair said.
Officers found 110 bags of heroin and a loaded handgun reported stolen from Iowa earlier this year.
Butcher and Lovelace, also 25, were charged with two counts each of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession with intent to distribute, possession within a school zone, possession within 500 feet of a public zone, conspiracy, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon while committing a drug offense and receiving stolen property.
Butcher was additionally charged with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon and multiple motor vehicle summonses.
Both were taken to the Atlantic County Justice Facility.
