Howell Man Charged With Heroin Possession

A Howell Township man is facing heroin possession charges after police found 45 wax folds containing the drug on him during a traffic stop last week.

Steven Jarosz, 46, was charged with heroin possession and issued motor vehicle summonses, Howell Sgt. Eileen Dodd said.

Howell Patrolman Eric Encarnacion conducted a motor vehicle stop on May 19 with assistance from the township’s Crime Suppresion Unit on a car Jarosz was driving, Dodd said. Jarosz was the subject of several narcotics-related complaints in the Ramtown section of town, she said.

When he got out of his car, Jarosz was seen throwing what appeared to be wax folds on the ground, Dodd said. He was taken into custody after a brief struggle, she said.

He was charged and released on summonses, pending court, she said.
