The Brick Township Police Street Crimes Unit worked with their counterparts at the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and Lakewood police to apprehend three suspects following an investigation that led to to about a dozen criminal charges and the seizure of quantities of numerous illicit drugs.
The investigation began Tuesday, June 18 after Brick detectives witnessed multiple drug transactions, which led to two motor vehicle stops in Lakewood. The Lakewood Police Department assisted with the stops, which occurred in Lakewood. In their statement on the arrests, did not state the initial location of the suspected drug deals.
The first stop led to the arrest of Aliana T. McColley, 30, of Lakewood, for possession of crack cocaine. The second stop led to the arrest of Reginald A. McNeil, 22, of Asbury Park, for conspiracy to distribute drugs, and Nyshawne S. Sutton, 39, of Lakewood, for drug distribution. As the arrestees were brought to Lakewood Police Station for processing, Sutton ran away from police but was quickly apprehended, said Brick Police Sgt. Jim Kelly.
