Galloway man wanted in gun case now jailed

  • News

A Galloway Township man wanted after a gun was found in his vehicle during an Atlantic City drug investigation is now in jail.

Halim Fisher, 24, was stopped Dec. 21, 2022, after he and a 16-year-old boy were seen making an alleged drug deal in a store in the 1700 block of Atlantic Avenue, police said at the time.

He was stopped with a digital scale covered in a while powdery substance, according to the report.

The juvenile allegedly had an Oxycodone pill and two grams of suspected crack cocaine, police said.

Fisher was released on a summons, and his car was towed after K-9 Officer Jesse Oliver-Logan's partner, Gee, indicated there were drugs inside.

A warrant eventually led to the discovery of a handgun fitted with a high-capacity magazine that contained hollow-point bullets, according to the charges.

By then, Fisher could not be located.

He was arrested Thursday, jail records show.

Fisher also has another pending drug case from November, when he and four others were arrested for alleged drug deals.

All five were released on summonses in those cases.
