Brick Woman Among Four Charged With Xanax, Heroin Possession in Manchester

Four people -- including a Brick Township woman -- are facing drug charges after they were arrested during a raid at a Pine Lake Park home on Wednesday, Manchester police said.

Thomas Pyne, 34, and Krystle Sherman, 30, both of 11th Avenue, Pine Lake Park; Danielle Vicente, 22, of Court A, Brick; and Frank Evans, 34, of Laurel Avenue, Lakehurst, all face charges of possession of heroin, Xanax and drug paraphernalia, Manchester Capt. Todd Malland said.

The arrests were the result of a four-week investigation by Manchester’s Narcotics Enforcement Team, acting on complaints received about possible heroin distribution from a home on 11th Avenue, Malland said. On Wednesday night, about 10:15 p.m., members of the Narcotics Enforcement Team and Investigations Bureau along with the Ocean County Regional SWAT team executed a court-authorized search warrant at the home, he said.

During the search, heroin, Xanax, hypodermic needles and associated paraphernalia were seized, Malland said, and the four charged with possession of heroin, possession of Xanax, possession hypodermic syringes and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Bail for Pyne was set at $20,000. Additionally, Pyne had two outstanding warrants, for willful nonpayment of child support totaling $9,100, issued out of the Ocean County Superior Court. Bail for Sherman and Vicente was set at $7,500 each, and all three remain in the Ocean County Jail, Toms River, in lieu of bail, according to jail records.

Evans was released on a summons, Malland said.

Also assisting with this investigation were the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit, the Lakewood Police Department and the Patrol Bureau of the Manchester Township Police Department, he said.
