BASKING RIDGE, NJ — A Basking Ridge man was arrested for selling drugs out of his township home following a two-month long undercover investigation, Somerset County Prosecutor Michael Robertson announced.

Stefan F. Larbig, 28 of Constitution Way, Basking Ridge was charged with one count of second-degree possession of controlled dangerous substance(CDS) (Xanax) with intent to distribute and two counts of third-degree distribution of CDS (Xanax).

Members of the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Organized Crime and Narcotics Task Force along with members of the Bernards Township Police Department began an investigation into the selling of drugs by Larbig in the Basking Ridge section of Bernards Township.

An undercover officer reportedly purchased drugs from Larbig at his home on Constitution Way on two separate occasions during the month of October.

Authorities then executed a search warrant at Larbig’s home where he was found outside and placed under arrest without incident.

Larbig was found to be in possession of 118 Xanax pills that were not prescribed to him and were packaged in a manner consistent with street sale. A search of the home found drug paraphernalia associated with drug activity, according to the report.

The Xanax pills seized have an estimated street value of $1,800.

Larbig was issued a summons and released pending a first appearance court date.
