Police Find 9 Bags Of Heroin During Wyckoff Traffic Stop

A Pennsylvania man was charged with heroin possession after police found him and a friend in a car on Everett Avenue late Sunday night, authorities said.

Police found two men in a Ford Mustang that was straddling two parking stalls on Everett Avenue at 11:25 p.m., said Wyckoff Police Chief Benjamin Fox.

The driver, Bruce T. Winn, of Thompson, Pa., 49, was given field sobriety tests and charged with driving while intoxicated, police said.

Winn’s friend, a 50-year-old Bronx man was taken to the hospital because of the extent he was under the influence of alcohol and drugs, Fox said.

Police found nine bags of heroin and two bags of “vegetation laced with PCP,” Fox said.

When tested by a drug recognition officer, Winn was uncooperative; he was charged with possession of heroin, possession of PCP, possession of narcotics in a motor vehicle, and several other traffic summonses, police said.

There was nobody in the area to release Winn to and he was housed in the Wyckoff Police Department where he threatened officers and acted erratically, Fox said. He was transported to the hospital.
