Brick Township Police Department: On Wednesday night, December 4th, the SCU investigated suspicious activity they observed in the parking lot of Walmart on Rt. 88. The two subjects involved, later identified as Thomas Ryan (60 years old of Brick) and Kyle Jakubowski (22 years old of Point Pleasant), were seen exchanging a package and then parting ways. SCU members continued to observe Ryan as he left the area while others continued observing Jakubowski.
Investigation, which included assistance from an Ocean County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit, led to the search of Jakubowski’s vehicle, and the procurement of a court ordered search warrant on Ryan’s residence. The searches revealed the following:
627 THC vape cartridges
4 lbs. of marijuana
9 lbs. of THC candy
14 oz. of psilocybin mushrooms
Over $127,000 in cash
These discoveries resulted in the seizure of Ryan’s vehicle and evidence of a storage unit.
Thomas Ryan was charged with multiple accounts of Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (CDS) and Manufacturing/Dispensing of CDS. He was also charged with the 1° crime of Maintaining/Operating a CDS Production Facility and Possessing Property Derived from Criminal Activity. He was lodged in Ocean County Jail.
Kyle Jakubowski was charged with Possession of a CDS, Manufacturing/Distributing a CDS and Possession of Paraphernalia. He was released on a summons.
The following day, Thursday the 5th, court ordered search warrants for Ryan’s vehicle and a storage unit belonging to both subjects led to the discovery of:
An additional (approximate) pound of marijuana
Hundreds of THC vape cartridges
Manufacturing and packaging material related to the THC cartridges
Suboxone
Suspected Methamphetamines
Suspected MDMA (ecstasy)
Jakubowski was again arrested and charged with the additional counts of Possession of a CDS and Manufacturing/Distributing of CDS. He was then lodged into Ocean County Jail.
Additional charges were also lodged against Ryan, who was advised and served with those charges while still housed in the jail.

Kellee-shea Graham Bet you I’m straight edge haha so you’re completely wrong. Idc people can smoke,drink do drugs doesn’t bother me. I just know everyone voted for him for the weed.
Never happen if they are making that much money off civil asset forfeiture
Damian Arduino Weed not mushrooms, suboxone and ecstasy.
medicinal marijuana is legal. that’s good enough
Dumb criminals. Parking lots are the worst meeting spots lol
Nice job!! Keep after them!! ????????????
Lol someone gave them up. Get rid of some holiday competition
Bill Bartus most definitely.. otherwise cops woulda just thought some kid was giving his grandpa his Christmas present since they weren’t gonna see each other on Christmas.
Why they only show the old man’s face
Jeff Parker Go read other articles they show the 22 yr old as well
If I had that much cash be damned sure I wouldn’t be at Walmart LOL!
Carole Hubscher Cirillo

Barbara Somes it’s THC????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️Jesus Christ some people
Kellee-shea Graham How about the mushrooms?
Thank GOD THAT THC is off the streets….Wouldnt want that getting in the way of good old heroin to make people OD.

Kellee-shea Graham ????
Connor M Scully
Thank god again it’s not a person of color

Pete Horzepa only New Jersey…..????????♀️????????♀️
Pete Horzepa don’t forget those dangerous mushrooms. Over doses every where every single day.
Jordan DiGuardi I don’t understand why they confiscated his pizza toppings ????
What’s really weird are all the doctors recommending marijuana and/or mushrooms.
As if they would know better than cop lol silly doctors
That $127,000 can come to me, k thanx
Greg Bleeker go scratch your tickets ????
Greg Bleeker 127000 was just what was left after the cops pocketed their take!
Karen Ward Mahon most likely
Karen Ward Mahon exactly
Someone’s pissed that’s a lot of fucking money and stuff they go missing I bet you his drug dealer ain’t gonna be happy about that
Good job. Get these POS off our streets
It’s THC.what in the fuck is wrong with this county.these prosecutors must have some of the smallest penises….GO AFTER DRUG DEALERS that actually deal drugs
They just go where the money is. There is no profit in busting a low level thug selling heroin
Kellee-shea Graham
Try again! That led.to the search read the whole article. They also found:
An additional (approximate) pound of marijuana
Hundreds of THC vape cartridges
Manufacturing and packaging material related to the THC cartridges
Suboxone
Suspected Methamphetamines
Suspected MDMA (ecstasy)
Kellee-shea Graham just let them set up a table in front of Walmart SMH
Pattie Guglielmi-Agosto you’re* and everything you listed is again THC with the exception of SUSPECTED methamphetamines..suspected doesn’t mean shit in this corrupt ass county.so yes until it was confirmed meth,this is NOT a drug ring ????????????????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️
Michael Phillips they should
Chris Golden you’re right…they just might save some lives,but where’s the profit in that
Kellee-shea Graham and everything they listed is classified as an “illegal substance”
Kellee-shea Graham lmao so busting the bootleg THC carts being made in some YouTube chemist’s basement that’s giving people pop lung is what’s wrong with this county. Never mind the meth and suboxone busting people for that demonstrates the size of their genitalia. They should turn a blind eye to meth/pill dealers handing over packages at the Walmart parking lot. That sucks that the supply for your usb pen is low right now.
Bernie Neuhaus
Quite possibly the most mind boggling ignorant comment of the day ????♀️????
Benny Colontonio
Pasquale Vella weird SCU handled the investigation lol
Ron Setliff why is it weird
Dave Meyer mind your business.
Good job! I guess they wanted to get caught. ????
Wtf it’s all a plant ? Yea a lot of cash for the state
Bailey Marcella yeah meth and suboxone grow out of the ground. You must have taken some of the shrooms that were in the deal.
That is completely invalid meth is the only drug not found naturally so I don’t want to hear what you have to say
Suboxone and and opioids are completely different from opium that comes from the ground but heroine isn’t even real anymore so it’s all man made
Bailey Marcella he’s a moron
Kellee-shea Graham thank you
Danielle Nicolina Read the entire article it details all of the drugs they seized
Ocean County Scanner News I went back. Thanks!
Oh yeah so ecstasy is found naturally too right… and concentrated THC that’s all nature too right? So polyethylene glycol, ethylene oxide, and citrus terpine oxide solvents are all naturally grown. Yeah cool story bro
But they still hit them with all these charges when it was just weed and shrooms. It was the next day after further investigation that led to the rest. But still can’t really argue it, because there was never a moment where it was weed alone.
Not to mention carrying that much cash around of course they were going to see what else they were involved with
Guy should do a little time he’s not the king pen of nj so what he had plants on him you guys call “drugs”
Kenneth Gregg do you know if he can account for the cash? He can probably account for half of it as earnings he’s an old man had a lot of pot and money I wouldn’t be at Walmart but I’d be fucking happy lmao
Damn I would have shot him down too you guys need to let us know what your carrying 127k cash on you!
Maura Lee for real… Not to mention it was probably 200k, with just a bit pinched off the top by the shade police.
Niki Lynn Schwefringhaus
Great job
People still do shrooms?
60?????? He looks 80!
Omg this world is sad
Jennifer Juliano Sullivan

Kyle Lucyk out on bail reform with the promise he will be back

David Richard ROFLMAO
Oscar Alonso Kristen Alonso Rebecca Wittig Nayda
Mary Alonso awesome
Tom Christian
Dang!
So basically a ton of shit that’s legal in 20+ states???
Iz Rob which state is Meth, Ecstasy and shrooms legal in?
Ocean County Scanner News what?? I saw THC marijuana THC and shrooms??????? Didnt see meth or ecstasy??
Iz Rob read the article
Iz Rob further investigation into a storage unit that apparently both of their names were on led to amphetamines, ecstasy and Suboxone. But your point is still the same, because it took further investigation to discover those things anyway .. they were still getting charged big time originally for weed and shrooms.
Iz Rob you should have read article ????♀️
I read. They found other stuff as well. But they should have made the article about meth and ecstasy not THC
Way to f up a good time.
Let the man live shit he from the hippies era …. the man didn’t have a single bag of dope jeeze … I don’t see no weed or a little bit of shrooms killing anyone
Kay Kay it wasn’t just buds????????♂️????????♂️????????♂️ it’s the homemade vape cartridges that people are dying from…
Kay Kay several people on shrooms have had bad trips and killed others. It happened to a family friend that was murdered by someone having a bad trip in Philadelphia. Google it
Wal-Mart….no shit!! ????
All that for pot wow really
To the hooker with no kids father who says “iT’s jUsT a PlANt, nOt ReaL druGS” it’s not just buds, and it’s still illegal…
Dave Meyer alcohol was too ????♂️
Joseph Steuber Jr. Stay on topic here…
Dave Meyer it is on topic. It’s called a comparison. It’s only illegal because of a paper company. More people die in a day from alcohol than in marijuana’s history. But hey keep being a lemming and believing that this is justice. Look up the real history behind its classification.
Joseph Steuber Jr. Alcohol should be illegal, but this wasn’t just marijuana in vegetation form, it’s homemade vapes, and edibles which are extracted with butane…
Dave Meyer if it wasn’t illegal this wouldn’t be a problem. That is my point. The government created the problem.
This is what you have to do to survive on social security. ????♂️
Why do people get jail time for possession of a plant but just get fined for driving drunk? ????
Just put him in a chair and electrocute his ass. Drug dealers are murderers I feel no sympathy for him or the kid that got caught with him . Sick and tired of this garbage!
$127K put that towards the wall
Nicole Ragusa bruh what is going on with Walmart’s lately?
Alex Fasulo lmfaoooo idk I’m still gonna go
They Think Its Safe There 2 Sale Drugs Not Anymore Losers Thank U PD
