Lacey police recently charged a Forked River man with possession of heroin and possession with intent to distribute heroin after a motor vehicle stop, Police Chief David A. Paprota said.

Lacey detectives obtained a search warrant for 207 Greenwood Lane in Forked River as part of an ongoing drug distribution investigation.
