SECAUCUS, NJ — Secaucus police arrested this man Wednesday night at the Red Roof Inn motel, after they said they found him with a large knife and more than an ounce of suspected methamphetamine.

The arrest was done by the department's anti-crime unit, which was formed specifically in response to resident complaints about drug crimes and prostitution at Secaucus motels.

It was discovered he was in possession of a large knife and the methamphetamine.
