CAMDEN, NJ – A Camden County man is behind bars after being charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine. Joseph C. Long, 30, of Bellmawr, New Jersey, was arrested on January 15, 2020, after law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at his apartment.
According to documents filed in the case, officers found powder cocaine, crack cocaine, packaging and distribution related items, and over $3,400 in cash inside the apartment. Long was seen jumping out of the second-floor bedroom window and was later apprehended.
Long made his initial court appearance today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joel Schneider and was detained without bail. He faces two counts of possession with intent to distribute cocaine, each carrying a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
The investigation leading to Long’s charges was a collaborative effort between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, the Camden County Sheriff’s Department, and the Bellmawr Police Department.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristen M. Harberg in Camden. The charges and allegations in the complaint are merely accusations, and Long is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The case serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight against drug trafficking and the consequences of engaging in such activities. It also highlights the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies in bringing perpetrators to justice.
The exact date of Long’s arrest is January 15, 2020. He is currently detained without bail, awaiting his trial. The total amount of cash found in the apartment was $3,400.
