An Atlantic City man was arrested after assorted drugs were found in his public housing apartment, police said.
Ronald Legette, 52, had 500 bags of heroin, 16 grams of cocaine, 33 Xanax pills and paraphernalia used to distribute drugs inside his Altman Terrace home, Sgt. Kevin Fair said.
The apartment on the 1000 block of Arctic Avenue was searched after a three-week investigation by Detective James Barrett, Fair said.
Legette was charged with two counts each of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession with intent to distribute, possession with intent to distribute within a school zone, possession with intent to distribute within 500 feet of a public zone, and a single count of possession of a prescription legend drug and possession of CDS paraphernalia.
He was released on a summons.
Note: The Atlantic County Justice Facility no longer provides mugshots to the media, citing the Atlantic County prosecutor’s order. The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office says it’s part of the Attorney General’s Guidelines. There is no such guideline, according to the Attorney General’s Office, but they have told these offices for years that they should not release any photos that appear to be mugshots.
