'Lebron James' Heroin Found In Hopatcong: Police

HOPATCONG, NJ — A Stanhope woman was arrested after Hopatcong police say they found "Lebron James" branded heroin on her.

Police were called to a Fay Ave home on a report a woman stole from her boyfriend's brothers home. Police found the woman, Pauline Keffel, 36, on a nearby corner.

Keffel told police she was kicked out of the home but did not steal anything. She gave officers permission to search her purse, where they allegedly found hypodermic needles and white wax folds of heroin with the name "Lebron James" stamped on them.

"Drug dealers stamp heroin folds with popular names of movies, people 'etc.' The addicts know to find these same batches if they are of good quality.," Hopatcong Capt. Tom Kmetz explained.

Keffel was charged with possession of heroin and possession of hypodermic needles. She was released.
