  • News

A motor vehicle stop in Atlantic City led to the recovery of several drugs and a stun gun, police said.

Damaine Davis was stopped for a traffic infraction at about 6:26 p.m. Thursday, Sgt. Paul Aristizabal said.

Officer Jesse Oliver-Logan found that Davis did not have a valid driver’s license, and conducted a search with the help of his K-9 partner, Gee.

The investigation led to the recovery of about 53 grams of suspected heroin, according to the report. A stun gun was also found.

Davis was arrested and then found in possession of 20 alprazolam prescription pills, and 19 oxycodone hydrochloride pills, Aristizabal said.

The officer also seized $470 believed to be proceeds of illegal drug sales.

Davis, 25, of Atlantic City, was charged with three counts each of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession with intent to distribute and possession with intent within 500 feet of public housing. He was also charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon while committing a drug offense, certain persons not to possess a weapon, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Davis was just arrested on drug charges in October of last year, court records show.

He was remanded to the Atlantic County Justice Facility.
