LAKEHURST, NJ — A Toms River woman is facing multiple drug charges following a motor vehicle stop in Lakehurst, police said.

Elisha L. Bellamy, 18, was arrested May 13, Lakehurst Police Officer Robert Schroeck said.

Bellamy was a passenger in a silver Honda that was headed east on Route 37 and Police Officer Madelyn Waltz saw the car failing to keep right, Schroeck said, and pulled it over.
