Mother And Son Accused Of Dealing Drugs Together: Chatham Police

CHATHAM, NJ — A mother and son were arrested for allegedly dealing drugs out of their Chatham home, police said in a statement.

Tiffany Gibbs, 47, and her son Tyler Campbell, 18, were arrested on Wednesday after police searched their Lincoln Circle home, police said.

Chatham Police Department and Morris County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit found packaged marijuana, items used in the distribution of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and several thousand dollars in cash in the home according to police.

During the search, officers used Narcan to reverse a possible drug overdose, police said.

"Our Canine Handler James VanValen is one of several Sheriff’s Officers currently trained in the use of naxolone; soon, however, the entire agency will be able to administer lifesaving doses of Narcan," Sheriff James M. Gannon said. "[Chatham] Chief Steven Hennelly and I are both proud of the fact that while carrying out other public safety duties, Detective VanValen and Patrolman Scott Herchick and Detective Anthony LoPorto were able to put their training to work in order to save a life."

Both mother and son were charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were released with pending court dates.

"The successful conclusion to this lengthy investigation should send a clear message that we stand committed to assuring that our neighborhoods are safe and drugs have no place in them," Chief Steven Hennelly said.
