Jackson Man Arrested In Brick For Drug, Weapons Possession: Cops

BRICK, NJ — A 30-year-old Jackson Township man was arrested on drug charges this week after police conducted a search of a search of a vehicle in a Brick Township storage unit, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office announced Thursday.

Cory Winston was arrested after he was found to be in possession of heroin, cocaine, MDMA (more commonly known as Molly), prescription pills, digital scales and various other paraphernalia associated with drug distribution, authorities said. The arrest was made after Stafford Township police – working with a number of other agencies – executed a search warrant of a vehicle and storage unit in Brick Township along with a hotel room in Absecon, police said.

Winston was also found to be in possession of two handguns and high capacity magazines. Police said while officers attempted to arrest Winston, he became combative and struck several detectives while they were attempting to place him in custody. The detectives were treated for minor injuries before Winston was taken to the Brick Township Police Department for processing.

Winston was charged with 14 offenses including drug and weapons possession, resisting arrest, aggravated assault on a police officer, three charges of intent to distribute and other drug-related charges.
