Drug Raid Results In Arrest For Galloway Man, Woman: Prosecutor

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, NJ — A man and a woman from Galloway Township have been charged with multiple drug and weapons offenses following a raid at their home, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner announced.

Louis Hilton, 50, and Julie Naia, 49, were each charged with first-degree possession of crystal methamphetamine with the intent to distribute, second-degree possession of a weapon (Firearm) while in the course of committing a drug offense, third-degree possession of crystal methamphetamine and second-degree conspiracy.

Hilton was also charged with second-degree certain persons not to have weapons (Firearm) due to past criminal convictions that specifically prohibit him from possessing a weapon.

They were arrested on Thursday after detectives said a raid of their home revealed over five ounces of crystal methamphetamine, a fully loaded .357 Magnum revolver, ammunition, drug paraphernalia, evidence of outlaw motorcycle gang affiliation and a large sum of money.

At a pre-trial detention hearing held on Friday, a judge ruled that Hilton would be detained at the Atlantic County Justice Facility. Naia was released on a bracelet and required to report to the Court’s Pre-Trial Services Unit.

Members of the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office Gangs, Guns and Narcotics Unit along with members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Atlantic City RA, New Jersey State Police and Galloway Township Police Department, with assistance from Atlantic County SWAT executed the court-ordered search warrant.
