LINDEN — Two Rahway men were arrested this weekend after police found a loaded gun and 10 bags of marijuana in their car, authorities said today.
Linden narcotics squad officers were staking out the parking lot of Aviation Plaza on Routes 1&9 just before 9 p.m. Friday when they spotted what appeared to be a drug deal between two vehicles near the Marshalls store, police spokesman Capt. James Sarnicki said.
The detectives followed a Chevy Trailblazer occupied by Jared Deshawn Daniels and Alkabir Ishmel Boone, both 25 and from Rahway, as the SUV swerved erratically through traffic northbound down Routes 1&9, Sarnicki said.
When officers finally pulled the car over at Franklin Street and 5th Avenue in Elizabeth, they spotted a handgun on the floor of the vehicle and removed both men, police said.
The handgun was a Charter Arms .38-caliber special loaded with two rounds, Sarnicki said. Officers also recovered a sandwich bag containing 10 smaller baggies of suspected marijuana, he said.
Both men were arrested and charged with possession and distribution of marijuana, possession of a firearm while committing a controlled dangerous substance offense, and certain persons not to possess weapons.
The driver, Daniels, was also charged with possession of a CDS in a motor vehicle and having an open container of alcohol. Daniels was held on $150,000 bail and Boone held on $100,000 bail, and they were taken to the Union County Jail with a court date set for Friday.
