Giovanny Alfaro, 29, and Jamie Juarez, 23, both of Bayonne, are charged with possession with the intent to distribute (cocaine), possession with the intent to distribute, within 1,000 feet of a school, possession with the intent to distribute within 500 feet of public property, possession with the intent to distribute (marijuana), possession with the intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school, possession with the intent to distribute within 500 feet of public property, possession of drug paraphernalia, two counts of possession with the intent to distribute (Oxycodone), possession with the intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school, and possession with the intent to distribute within 500 feet of public property.
The defendants were previously arrested on Tuesday, June 18th, after numerous transactions were conducted with an undercover officer, which included the sale of illegal narcotics and an illegal firearm.
The additional charges were filed following a court-authorized search of vehicles seized at the time of defendants’ initial arrests. An additional quantity of cocaine, marijuana, and Oxycodone were recovered.
On June 18th, authorities seized 180 grams of cocaine and three pounds of marijuana, among other illicit substances, from the same couple.
Suarez credited the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Task Force and the Bayonne Police Department with the investigation and arrests.
