Wyckoff Police Arrest 4 On Drug-Related Charges

WYCKOFF, N.J. — Four people were charged with drug-related offenses after police searched a vehicle they stopped early Saturday morning, authorities said.

Sgt. Thomas Tully was patrolling the CVS parking lot on Franklin Avenue shortly after midnight when he saw three people acting suspiciously in a vehicle as it left the lot and commit a motor vehicle violation, said Chief David Murphy.

Tully stopped the vehicle and, after an investigation occurred, four people were arrested: Jennifer L. Thompson, 45, of Paterson, Sara P. Hazuda, 23, of Lodi, Carlos M. Helly, 38, of Hackensack, and Thomas R. Greene, 47, of Ramsey, Murphy said. Each was charged with possession of a hypodermic needle and possession of drug paraphernalia, police said.

All four people were released and are scheduled to appear in Wyckoff Municipal Court, Murphy said.
