2 Face Drug Charges After Motor Vehicle Stops In Brick

BRICK, NJ — Brick Township police charged two people with drug possession in a pair of arrests by the department's Street Crimes Unit.

About 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 20, SCU detectives saw a 38-year-old woman from Brick loitering and asking people for drugs, police said. Detectives spoke with the woman and the ensuing investigation led to the discovery of stolen medications, drug paraphernalia and other prescription medications. The woman was charged with loitering to obtain a controlled dangerous substance (CDS), two counts of possession of a CDS, eight counts of possession of prescription legend drugs, receiving stolen property, and possession of paraphernalia. She was taken to the Ocean County Jail and later released following a detention hearing.

About 12:40 p.m. on Oct. 21, detectives pulled over a vehicle in the area of Jack Martin Boulevard after they observed several motor vehicle violations. The driver, Timothy Gandy, 35, of Brick, was found to have two outstanding warrants for his arrest. K9 Officer Scott Smith responded with his partner, K9 Echo, and an exterior sniff of the vehicle indicated Gandy was in possession of drugs. The ensuing search yielded wax folds, typically utilized to package heroin, crack cocaine, oxycodone pills and paraphernalia. Gandy was charged with three counts of possession of a CDS, possession with intent to distribute a CDS, possession of a CDS in a motor vehicle, paraphernalia, and motor vehicle summonses. Gandy was being held at the Ocean County Jail pending further court action.
