Marquis Rivera, 20, of Bayonne, was charged with possession of both morphine and marijuana with the intent to distribute, possession of narcotic paraphernalia, possession within 500 feet of a park and hindering apprehension on Sunday, according to Police Lt. Janine Foy.

Rivera was arrested on Sunday at about 10:10 p.m. near 441 Avenue C when he was caught in possession with a half pill of morphine, 7 small ziplock bags of suspected marijuana and 86 empty small ziplock bags “commonly used to package marijuana,” police said.

Although he used a fake name and false date of birth when identifying himself to police, Rivera was still identified due to his prior arrest record, Foy explained.

Additionally, Rivera was given a $40,000 bail with a 10 percent option for the drug charges, authorities said.
