Large Ecstasy Drug Bust in A&P Supermarket Parking Lot

Police arrested three men this week in a large drug bust in the A&P Supermarket parking lot involving Ecstasy pills.

On March 14, members of the Montclair Police Narcotics Bureau received information from a confidential informant regarding a large delivery of drugs, specifically Ecstasy pills.

The informant advised detectives that sometime between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. the delivery would be made in the parking lot of the A&P Supermarket at 530 Valley Road (A&P Supermarket).
 
The informant further stated that the delivery was going to be made by one or more white men, driving a car with New York registration.
 
Acting on this information detectives set up surveillance in the area. At about 10:15 p.m., a Silver Dodge Durango bearing New York registration was seen by detectives circling the area before parking in the parking lot.

Detectives then approached the car to investigate. During their investigation detectives uncovered a large amount of Ecstasy pills, totaling 333 pills. They also uncovered a small amount of marijuana and cocaine.

Detectives arrested the following three white men who were operating the car.

—Sean Klepacki, a 20-year-old man from Queens, New York
 
—David Ott, a 18 year old male from Flushing, New York
 
—Jason Utnick, a 19 year old male from Queens, New York
 
All three subjects were charged with multiple drug charges including possession of CDS, possession with intent to distribute, and intent to distribute near a public park. A judge was contacted and bail was set at $125,000 for each of them.
