Belleville Cops Arrest Man With Nutley Warrant: Drugs, Prescription Pad Found In Car

BELLEVILLE, NJ — Belleville police arrested a Clifton resident with a warrant out of Nutley earlier this month after finding heroin, oxycodone and a blank doctor’s prescription pad in their car during a traffic stop, authorities say.

According to the Belleville Police Department, officers allegedly saw a vehicle travel at a “high rate of speed,” cross over yellow lines and fail to stop at a red light on Mill Street around 7:38 p.m. on March 18.

After pulling the vehicle over near a dead end on Mill Street, the officers allegedly noticed the driver - Eleni Skordos, 36, of Clifton – “moving franticly and trying to conceal an item under the seat.”

The officers ordered Skordos out of the car and found a black bag, glass pipe and seven wax folds on the driver’s side floor, authorities said.

Inside the bag, officers found 50 wax folds containing heroin, six oxycodone pills and a blank doctor’s prescription pad, police said.

Police charged Skordos with possession of heroin, possession of crack-cocaine, possession of oxycodone, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession with intent to distribute and possession with intent to distribute within 500 feet of a park.

Skordos also had outstanding warrant from Nutley, police said.
