Four people were indicted in a Pleasantville guns and drugs case.
The grand jury handed up a 97-count indictment against Isaiah Cooper, Umar Salahuddin, Tariq Tucker and Kiona Dorsey last week, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner announced Thursday.
Law enforcement seized multiple firearms, including a loaded Smith & Wesson handgun, a loaded Ruger handgun with a high-capacity magazine, an Action Arms Uzi-type sub machine gun and multiple extended magazines, a large capacity drum magazine containing hollow point bullets, a .40-caliber semi-automatic handgun, and more than 100 rounds of hollow-point and ball ammunition, according to the charges.
Law enforcement also seized drugs, including multiple wax folds containing heroin and a quantity of cocaine.
In addition to various counts of heroin and cocaine distribution against all four, the three men are also charged with first-degree gang criminality in possessing firearms and distributing drugs while in association with — or for the benefit of — the South Side Mob criminal street gang.
Salahuddin and Cooper are also charged with operating or maintaining a drug-production facility, a first-degree crime, as well as first-degree distribution of cocaine in an amount greater than five ounces and second-degree distribution of heroin in an amount greater than a half-ounce.
They also are charged with unlawful possession of an assault firearm and possession of a firearm when each previously was convicted of a crime.
Salahuddin and Cooper are currently in custody at the Atlantic County Justice Facility. Tucker's and Dorsey's are pending, Tyner said.
The indictment followed an extensive gang investigation by the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office and the Pleasantville Police Department, Tyner said.
The drug investigation was handled by the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Gangs, Guns & Narcotics Unit, Pleasantville Police Department, FBI Safe Streets Task Force and the New Jersey State Police Atlantic City Task Force.
