Matos and three other people were arrested following a traffic stop in Mullica Hill on July 28, 2017. Harrison Township police stopped a car Matos was driving for speeding. After receiving conflicting accounts from all four passengers, a K-9 team was deployed to inspect the car, police said.

Police said they found a purse that belonged to Matos and contained a sponge soaked with suspected heroin. The other passengers were also found to be in possession of CDS, police said.

Matos was indicted on a charge of third-degree possession of heroin by a Gloucester County grand jury on April 18, 2018.
