Police in New Milford NJ arrested a local man after they allegedly found a number of illegal prescription drugs in his residence.

The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotic Task Force began investigating the 32-year-old suspect shortly after receiving information about illegal drug possession. The task force was assisted in the investigation by the New Milford Police Department and the Montvale Police Department.

Investigators eventually obtained a search warrant to search the suspect’s home.

Once inside the suspect’s house, investigators reportedly found 200 oxycodone pills, as well as other drugs. Among the other drugs allegedly found by police were marijuana and suboxone. Police also reportedly found drug paraphernalia.

According to police, the drugs have a street value of roughly $6,000.

The suspect was placed under arrest. At this time, he has been charged with possession with intent to distribute oxycodone. However, prosecutors anticipate filing additional charges, including possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

After being arrested, the suspect was taken to the Bergen County Jail; he is being held there on $20,000 bail. The suspect will remain in the facility until he either posts bail or has his next court appearance at the Bergen County Superior Court in Hackensack, New Jersey.
