Sheriff's narcotics detectives entered the unlocked door of the Summit Street apartment at 3:30 p.m. Thursday to execute a search warrant. Joel Walton, 49, was detained in the living room while detectives searched the apartment, Fontoura said.
Detectives found five prescription drug bottles on a dresser in the master bedroom which had no labels or showed names other than Walton's, the sheriff said. A total of 221 oxycodone pills, 50 suboxone pills, and 33 Xanax tablets were inside the bottles, he said.
In addition, 188 plastic bags of crack cocaine were discovered in a jewelry box, Fontoura said.
Walton was arraigned Friday in Newark. He was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute within 500 feet of Sussex Avenue Park.
Walton remains in the Essex County Jail in lieu of a $175,000 cash bond, Fontoura said.
