4 Arrested On Weapons, Drug Charges In Mercer County: Sheriff

Four people were arrested on weapons and drug charges after detectives with the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office responded to a routine civil complaint on Monday.

Investigators say they discovered evidence of marijuana and assorted drug paraphernalia in plain sight while responding to the complaint at a home on the 200 block of Andrew Street in Hamilton Township at about noon.

Detectives then obtained a court-ordered search warrant for the premises and a safe located in the basement of the home, Mercer County Sheriff Jack Kemler said on Tuesday.

Kemler said detectives found the following items during the search: two shotguns;four rifles; one crossbow; 2.5 grams of crack cocaine; a total of 88.5 grams of marijuana; 21.5 grams of psychedelic mushrooms; 48 Xanax sticks; 74 Ecstasy pills with an approximate weight of 17 grams; and $4,741.00 in USD currency.

Shantel Lige 25, of Kendall Park, and Dayvon Johnson, 24, of New Brunswick, were charged with drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana under 50 grams. They were issued a summons and released.

Sarah Brower, 22, of Monmouth Junction, was charged with multiple CDS offenses (marijuana, Xanax, and crack cocaine), with intent to distribute in a school zone (Lalor School) and 500 feet from a park (John A. Roebling Park).

Angelo Majailidis, 24, of Hamilton, was charged with multiple CDS offenses (marijuana, Xanax, crack cocaine, psychedelic mushrooms, and ecstasy) with intent to distribute in a school zone (Lalor School), and within 500 feet of a park (John Roebling Park), in addition to multiple weapon offenses.

They are each currently lodged at the Mercer County Correction Center. Bail was set at $50,000 for Majailidis and $30,000 for Brower.

“These arrests demonstrate great police work and the smart skills sets of our Detectives,” Kemler said. “The Mercer County Sheriff’s Office will continue its hard work to take drugs, gun weapons and criminals off of our streets.”

Robbinsville Police Department’s K-9 Unit assisted with the investigation, detecting the presence of narcotics throughout the residence.
