On February 5th, the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Gang Task Force, with assistance from Hudson County Regional SWAT, the Jersey City Police Department, and the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office, conducted a court-authorized search of Kaelyn Deli and Grocery, located at 156 Martin Luther King Drive.
During the search, investigators recovered various quantities of suspected cocaine, heroin, drug paraphernalia, and money in various locations throughout the storefront.
As a result, five individuals were charged with various narcotics offenses, including conspiracy and distribution:
Donte Carlisle, 32, Marc Jeune, and Elvin Borbon, 32, all of Jersey City, were arrested on Wednesday, February 5th, while Rodney Chappel, and Aliquan Hatten, both 38 and also of Jersey City, were arrested on February 11th and February 18th, respectively.
Following the court-authorized search of the storefront, the Jersey City Department of Health and Human Services ordered the business to cease operating and issued the store’s owner multiple citations for violating city health codes, authorities said.
Looks like wiping the competition. When will Suarez stop by municipal court and arrest judges and Hudnut for slumlords tickets fixing racket?
Good news. Drugs are a scourge.
