Four Somerset County residents are arrested for possessing, distributing cocaine | - NJ.com: "Robert Brown Sr., 42, of Highland Place in Bound Brook, was charged with third-degree cocaine distribution, and Troy Ferguson, 47, of Somerset Street in Somerville, was charged with third-degree cocaine possession, Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest said.
Diedria Stewart, 32, of Fairview Avenue in Somerville and Charles Dulin Jr., 50, of Caine Court in Bridgewater, were charged with a disorderly persons count for possession of drug paraphernalia, Forrest said.
Ferguson, Stewart and Dulin were released on their own recognizance, and Brown’s bail was set at $20,000. The investigation by the prosecutor’s Organized Crime and Narcotics Task Force and Somerville police led authorities to obtain a warrant to search Brown, and a warrant for Stewart’s dwelling, Forrest said.
At about 4 p.m. Friday, authorities established surveillance near Fairview Avenue. While there, task force members saw Brown on East Main Street, where he allegedly engaged in a hand-to-hand drug transaction with Ferguson. When authorities approached, Ferguson tried to discard a bag containing cocaine, and Brown was found with $516 in cash, Forrest said.
Task force members and Somerville police then raided Stewart’s apartment on Fairview and found her there with Dulin, Forrest said. Police seized a glass stem smoking pipe and arrested the pair without incident."
