Barnegat: Last night at 1:54am, members of the Barnegat Police Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) along with members of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force and Ocean County Regional SWAT Team executed a “No Knock” search warrant at 46 Village Drive.
Officers recovered marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and a Colt .38 caliber revolver loaded with hollow point ammunition.
Naquan Bennett, 29, of 46 Village Drive was charged with possession of a handgun (2nd degree), unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of hollow point ammunition, certain persons not to have a firearm (2nd degree), possession of marijuana less than 50 grams, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Naquan Bennett was lodged in the Ocean County Jail.
Jamilee Bennett, 23, of Hazleton PA was charged with possession of marijuana less than 50 grams and was released pending a court date.
Drugs on village drive..you got to be shitting me.. I would never of guessed..Used to work on 44 Village drive, let’s jut say… not surprised that they raided 46…
Shawn Miller omg really? Drugs are everywhere! I hate to be the one to tell ya. Really people Barnegat is t a bad town I’m so sick of this shit
Shawn Miller um it was pot lmao ???? not drugs.govnt just couldn’t get its piece of the pie
Kellee-shea Graham we could smell it every time we were at the house. I think it should be legal.. but I also think their should be no tolls.. But it’s NJ so you have to go with the law of the land… you can’t have a house a that you smell the weed from the street and then be surprised you get raided.
Shawn Miller if you think that a no knock warrant that puts officers and other lives in danger for some pot is warranted than you’ve got it twisted.it was also legal to marry 9 year olds and have slaves….it’s corrupt government at work,not protecting and serving which is what they’re paid to do
Kellee-shea Graham who knows what else was going on inside…
Ok…. So ya got the weed now let’s get the crack heads that live over by that way living pretty. ???? I find the guns being a big problem but marijuana sooner or later someone will smarten up and make it legal.
Shawn Miller I’m sure nothing….they’re potheads.maybe some sleeping and eating
Kellee-shea Graham guess you missed the Colt .38 caliber revolver loaded with hollow point ammunition part.
It’s about time things are getting done about the drug issues in that area
SandranMatthew Maj it was marijuana ????????????????????
Kellee-shea Graham you missed the word gun too ?
They still do no knocks? At least it turned out well
Scott A Barnes yeah, good way to get people killed.
Jeffrey Michael and over pot.meanwhile there was probably a fatal fentanoyl sale going down three houses down ????????♀️
Kellee-shea Graham you missed the word gun too ?
Andy Nemec no I didn’t
But I’m not going to act like my main concern is Cheech having a gun to protect his stash from actual criminals
Marijuana??? Thank god they cleaned up the streets
Tony Genantonio more like illegal weapon with hollow points
Jeff Fedak no weapon is illegal. You say hollow point like you have never touched a firearm in your life.
Tony Genantonio wouldn’t happen in California lol. They have billboards saying wheresmyweed.com
Jeff Fedak weapon was in the home. I have a weapon. Multiple. Have a lot of rounds too. Am I a criminal now? No.
Jay Johnson in your opinion i own weapons, legal , along with legal ammunition , thanks for stopping by????
Will Rommel you dont get charged for legal weapons, but I am sure you knew that
Jeff Fedak I don’t understand what your saying. I don’t charged? Clarify please.
Jeff Fedak get charged? No. You don’t get charged for legal weapons. I know that. I also know that less than two ounces of weed is not a big deal. He won’t get much of any at all time. He will walk. Guaranteed. Wasn’t a violent crime.
My point? A swat team and all the other teams that you pay for. It Took all that to get just two ounces and a gun?
I wouldn’t be posting this as a success.
P.s. I was a cop in Oklahoma. We sure as hell wouldn’t be bragging about such a huge “bust”.
Will Rommel but as previously being a police officer you probably there was other info obtained not posted besides a small amount of weed , I am betting there is more to this .
Jeff Fedak there is.
Jeff Fedak they shouldn’t be posting so soon. Get all the stuff sorted out and get all info first then post. Not sure why they did this. Smh.
Jeff Fedak gotcha.
Jeff Fedak they charged me for my 100% legal weapons. Cops are scumbags
Jay Johnson well if they were legal than with a lawyer & the prosecutor it would have been cleared up
Will Rommel your right
Jeff Fedak the prosecutor is just as corrupt as the cops calling my guns illegal they’re f****** delusional they’re all legal guns 3 and 1/2 years of this b*******
Jay Johnson ya mean the prosecutors. The cops just do the arrest. Cops don’t charge. They aren’t the judge or jury. You got charged by the prosecutor.
Hate to say it that way. But being a former cop? (scumbag as you say). The prosecutor charged you. The judge agreed. The cops were just doing their job. Yes. I’m playing devils advocate. No I’m not law enforcement anymore – so my “feelings aren’t hurt”.
Jeff Fedak there is lots of gang activity in that area. So definitely more to come of this. It’s not as simple as a gun and 50 grams. Def more to it.
Ocean county scanner jumped the gun posting this.
Jeff Fedak yep.
Jay Johnson until they do something that benefits you right? Asking for a friend.
Jay Johnson can’t say that I ever a problem.
Jeff Fedak I have an Arizona concealed carry permit. Good in many states. Majority.
Yet. Still “illegal” to carry in jersey. Or have it with me. Unless I’m going to a range. Horse shit. Reciprocity will happen sooner or later. Until then, I’m waiting on my fed carry permit to get approved.
Will Rommel i have a Utah carry good in a few states , & yep not in NJ.
Tony Genantonio you missed the word gun too ?
Thank God they got less than 50 grams of marijuana off those streets…now I can sleep at night.go get the mother fckrs selling fentanoyl you fckn morons
Kellee-shea Graham don’t forget!!! And a “horrible” .38 caliber revolver. Inside the home. Smh. Weed. Seriously? Smh.
Will Rommel so pathetic
Kellee-shea Graham
Yep. I was a cop in Oklahoma. We wouldn’t be bragging about this as a success.
What a joke and no knock warrants are bullshit they need to get rid of it
Will Rommel leave it to Jersey ????????♀️
Kellee-shea Graham born and raised. Hated even coming back. Thankfully won’t be for long. 18 years in military – seeing life outside of jersey. Yeah.
I like the shore and fishing. That’s about it.
Marijuana ??? Getting rid of murphies competition. You boys need to do something more constructive with our money. Like arrest each other for drunk driving and cocaine use. Lol
Wow they got weed
Albert Bowden Matarazzo and a gun
You got a no knock warrent that endangers officers and the general public to bring in 40 grams of Gods green medicine. You su k.
Jay Johnson did you miss 3 letters ? G-U-N ?
Andy Nemec cops lie about the legality of guns. They are lieing about my 100 % legal guns right now. Cops are trained liars. How is a gun illegal? Shall not be infringed!. Keep suckin those boots Andy.
Andy Nemec guns are our right to own. Are you a commi
All this bitching but did no one notice they got a loaded gun from a criminal?
Denise Langone Howell Pettersen no they didn’t.they got a gun from a pot dealer that used it for self defense against actual criminals robbing him.moron
Kellee-shea Graham regardless sounds like a win to me. He also had hollow points. Don’t know about you but if he needs it to defend himself from something worse I dont want it down the street from my house.
Rocco Franzoso then reality would hit you hard when you realized how many of your neighbors were actual drug dealers,pedophiles and actual criminals.but it’s cool you’re ok with officers wasting your money and their time with that bs meanwhile putting peoples lives in danger at 2 am ????????????????
Kellee-shea Graham one less off the street then they can hit the “actualdealers and pedophiles”. I will gladly pay my taxes to keep the good work up.
Kellee-shea Graham and to be honest with you it’s the hollow points and the gun that I’m worried about not the weed. This was just a couple houses away and I have kids so there’s that.
Rocco Franzoso and there’s probably registered gun owners who are completely fckn nuts on your block as well.he clearly didn’t use it to harm children while cops are going around using coke while on duty and beating their wives while also using a firearm
Kellee-shea Graham ahhh i get it you are just anti cop. Its cool no need to continue this conversation. You have your mind made up.
Kellee-shea Graham know a few ocean county cops that enjoy their blow myself. So. There’s that.
Denise Langone Howell Pettersen shut up with your bullshit narratives. How is Sargent pedophile in howel not in jail. I’d rather have weed than pedo cops.
Will Rommel brick police live on cocaine and adderall. No drug testing
Denise Langone Howell Pettersen we have the right to keep and bare arms. Moron.
Jay Johnson keep calling me names but answer this, you think he’s got a permit for that weapon or the hollow point bullets that were in it? Ask the kid who just got shot in the head if his shooter had the right to bear arms.
Listen to all of you absolute morons. He was caught with a small amount of weed and a gun. 12 out of the 20 people on your block have that anywhere you’re reading this. Some of you old squares need to just stop talking
Drew Lawrence yep.
Drew Lawrence this
Drew Lawrence people acting like they caught a terrorist organization
Drew Lawrence yep. And half the people bitching about it? Have shotguns. Guns. Pistols. Rifles. Or went and smoked a joint. Or are raging alcoholics who drive drunk. And prob did a line of blow as they were complaining.
Most people have registered guns and don’t have it loaded with hollow points.
God help the future of this country ????
shut up Andy square. You are out of your mind if you think hollow point rounds are an issue. Let me guess your with her.
Wait a no knock warrent? Where is all the outrage on this?
Zach Levers less than 50’grams too. Although distribution changes things – 50 grams tho? Less than two ounces.
Will Rommel I can’t comprehend why they needed the narcotics strike force, the swat team and Barnegat Police Crime Reduction Unit to go after a dude with pot lol that’s friggin crazy!
Justin Thomas for a .38. And less than 2 ounces.
They jumped the gun posting it. Can. Opened. Worms. Everywhere. Didn’t need to be. They should have posted after he was charged – officially. And then post the results. Not “more to follow”.
Definitely more to it than in the post. Or. Not. We will find out.
Will Rommel well they raided his house for the weed and just so happens found the gun.
Justin Thomas scared lieing scumbags. That’s why.
Think about how much money on taxes paid for that “huge bust”.
Meanwhile……..have a crackhead hanging out selling by the liquor store. He’s not the issue by any means is he?
Will – crackheads gonna sell crack
Will Rommel meanwhile in brick. Police protect adderall and oxycodone dealer that crashes his truck constantly. Ask Riccio why he protects drunk drivers and drug dealers in cherry quay.
Jay Johnson wow. Didn’t know that. Lol
Will Rommel I’ve been vocal enough about it to wind up in jail over it
https://tenor.com/wm0H.gif
And they are proud of themselves for this??? Sad. Two cops could have executed the search. But. They need to justify spending your tax dollars. Enjoy!!
Fucking clowns I support police but this is a joke
John Praznic agreed.
John Praznic ask the kid who got shot walking home from brick high school is getting an illegal gun off the street matters to him.
Lol so they found a tool and some plant matter… how much will it cost taxpayers? 30k a year in county then how much in other miscellaneous bullshit.
I get the fact that they were “illegal” guns, but it’s under 2 oz. of weed!!! They are acting like it’s a drug bust. It’s a gun bust! Hopefully after 11/3 it will be legal. I guess they wanted to get the “drug bust” in before November 3rd lol.
James Brannick Probably spent over $250,000 on planning and salaries.
James Brannick chances are they were doing much harder drugs and just didn’t have any in their house last night when they came there. I highly doubt they did all of this over a small amount of weed and they probably didn’t even know they were going to find a gun
Kristin Smith that’s a possibility.
A no knock for under 50 grams, I wonder how much money they waisted ????????
Adam Volek lol how does that involve any money…..
Adam Volek look at the moron below
Kristin Smith these people aren’t volunteers, and they’re not using donated technology. How would it *not* involve any money?
Another cartel gang banger leader brought to justice! The children are safe tonight!
Freddy Pantso bold assumption there. “Cartels” huh? Ever been to Arizona?
Freddy Pantso hahahhahahahaha what cartel would only have 50 grams of weed and a gun or two. You way to outdated to think any cartel would only have that little of a quantity in one of their caches
Will Rommel so your saying cartels don’t have cells in NJ?? Lol
Colie Hayes Pypcznski no. I did not say that. And I’m not labeling who got arrested as cartel or not cartel.
You got proof he’s “cartel”? Absolute proof? Or just your own opinion. Cause we all know about “opinions”.
Will Rommel well when you say ever been to Arizona your kind of stating in a sense that NJ doesn’t have cartels, cartels are all over the US, big issues in Camden withe cartels
Colie Hayes Pypcznski that’s your perception and interpretation. Not mine. No shit we have cartels here. (Former cop).
So I ask again. Do you have proof he is or was cartel? No? Then no need to make an accusation.
Will Rommel but reading all your comments that all you have been doing is making accusations.
Colie Hayes Pypcznski okay. You’re right.
Will Rommel were you at the raid? Do you have all the facts on the raid? No you don’t, just like I don’t.
Colie Hayes Pypcznski that what you needed? Feel better now? You are right in all things. Have a great day.
Colie Hayes Pypcznski okay. You’re right
Will Rommel i wasn’t feel bad in the first place. Dont see why a civil discussion can be had. The passive aggressiveness is inappropriate
Colie Hayes Pypcznski it is a civil conversation. Your just saying I’m passive aggressive because the conversation isn’t going the way you want.
Exactly.
Will Rommel no , im reading all the comments you have posted. You dont have to agree with me, not asking for that. You are entitled to your opinion. But when you post a meme saying I am a snowflake, I know this is pointless. And asking if I feel better is passive aggressive
Colie Hayes Pypcznski agreed.
Another drug dealing white supremacist taken down!
This just shows they have nothing better to do
Rachael Sue other than get guns off the street ?
Ask the kid who was just shot on main st or the kid in brick who got shot walking home from school.
Andy Nemec .50 worth of pot and a side arm ???????????????????? big bust buddy . You must not no how much this really just cost the tax payers
Rachael Sue 1 less illegal gun on the street. Well worth it.
Rachael Sue they obviously were doing harder drugs and just didn’t have any on them last night they wouldn’t do all of this over weed????
Andy Nemec you are not smart
I’m not disagreeing with any of this I’m just saying they had nothing better to do and have to use that much force for .50!and a side arm and your right it one less illegal firearm off the street .. I understand procedures and protocol for this type of stuff but they definitely could’ve done it a different way
Kristin Smith I agree and thought that when I saw what it said. Because there no way they did this for just .50 and a side arm because then at that point they literally have nothing to do marijuana shouldn’t even be illegal and it’s on the ballot and it’s still less than what the legal limit was so should’ve been issued a ticket if anything they did it for the gun????????
Rachael Sue lol okay maybe they should’ve politely knocked on their door so they could’ve got their gun ready to shoot at the cops or ran out the back door and escaped?? The cops caught them and know how to do their jobs clearly. If you would like to be a cop since you know how to do a better job than them you’re welcome to????
WOW! They needed 3 different police forces the Barnegat Police Crime Reduction Unit, the Ocean County Prosecutors Office Narcotics Strike Force and Ocean County Regional SWAT Team to go after a guy with pot?!!! Holy shit use all that fire power to get the big time heroin, coke, meth and crack dealers! Damn that’s absolute insanity.
Justin Thomas just because they didn’t have other drugs on them last night doesn’t mean they don’t normally do???? I’m sure this entire investigation wasn’t over a small bag of weed. And it’s not like they didn’t have an unlicensed gun or anything…..
This is embarrassing for Barnegat lol.
Mary Dee Grow how is it embarrassing that our cops got two people who are in possession of an unlicensed gun who aren’t supposed to have one off the streets? They’re doing their jobs
Awesome bust
Be safe these judges are not backing the shield
Stacey Gurnari-Courter fuck these asshole. The judges are more corrupt than the cops. Doing blow off each others ball sacs before shift.
Hilarious, I guess they got their head stash for the month. Next month 3/4 of them will have medical conditions
Let me guess, was he black?
So many people seem to have missed 3 letters- GUN.
If that doesn’t matter to you ask the kid who just got shot on main st or the 15yr old who got shot walking home from brick hs.
I personally don’t give a dam about the weed either but this ridiculous nonchalant attitude about the gun is what’s turning the area into a ghetto.
Andy Nemec shut up with your stupidity. So many people knowing the truth. You are the delusional one
Andy Nemec what about inalienable rights dont you get. Are you failing to understand we have rights that supersede your stupidity.
Jay Johnson so your saying these people had legally obtained a gun!?
Jay Johnson quit your crying cop hater
Jay Johnson my stupidity LMAO
yeah, I’m the one who’s been crying about cops on their ass for years now
Colie Hayes Pypcznski I bet the gun is clean and purchased by the guy arrested.
Jay Johnson show me proof instead of speculation.
Colie Hayes Pypcznski show me proof that its illegal just because police say it is.
Jay Johnson i guess we will find out once court is completed
Colie Hayes Pypcznski he will take a plead deal and no truth will ever be known. Courts prosecutors and endless tax payer funding are pretty intimidating for anyone to actually go to trial.
Jay Johnson well when you illegal things, be prepared to pay. Accountability.
Colie Hayes Pypcznski
What about these guys who got probation and therapy?
Colie Hayes Pypcznski nov 4th weed will be legal.
Jay Johnson and he is being protected correct?
Colie Hayes Pypcznski which one?
Jay Johnson do you know all the details on the drug case? Possibility he took a plea and snitched in the higher ups?
Jay Johnson either.
Jay Johnson and with the Howell officer the cops were the ones who caught him in the sting. His chief was involved in the sting. Still not sure what this has to do with what we are talking about though.
Colie Hayes Pypcznski he should have gotten 10 years or 5. But nothing.
Colie Hayes Pypcznski accountability
Jay Johnson who should of gotten 5 or 10 years. The cop hasn’t even had a court date yet. Trial hasn’t started.
Jay Johnson hes facing 15 years. I dont know what this has to do with anything
Colie Hayes Pypcznski he got therapy. No jail time.
Proud of Barnegat PD! They are doing the job they are paid to do. If your not from Barnegat, mind your own busy!
Joan Marie shut up
Jay Johnson very mature response.
Colie Hayes Pypcznski let’s hear how they Justified a no-knock warrant on a residence and come up with diddly-squat
Jay Johnson how do you know they came up with nothing? Maybe they got good intel on bigger issues. Maybe the neighbors were tired of people coming in and out of that house. You dont know all the info. Do you think everything was published about this. Seriously, I am all for legalizing Marijuana, I voted yes for it. But unless you were there and have all the details is hard to make conclusions. They are just opinions and feelings
2 ozs and a 38 ??? Wow isn’t there herion dealers you could be raiding
Mike Cannito
He got probation. Weed dealer gets ten years.
Jay Johnson this guy got caught up like 3 times in a year too crazy
Mike Cannito he is still dealing. Buddies with the cops dont go to jail
Mike Cannito they are raided, and its been published. Now since everyone commenting here attacking the officers for doing their job, what are you guys doing? Arguing on fb? Are you writing to your legislatures about changing the laws? Legalizing Marijuana? Did you vote, cause its on the ballot. What are you proactively doing to change things other than being fb warriors and bitching about the cops. They dont make the laws. Obviously they did this raid for a reason, do you have all the facts, were you there, do you have intel on this matter.
Mike Cannito whats so funny? Also its heroin not herion
Mike Cannito haha typical response haha. Have a great day:)
Jay Johnson great
Colie Hayes Pypcznski if cops don’t want to arrest you for marijuana they simply don’t I’ve been pulled over dozens of times with marijuana in the car either take it make me dump it out or whatever but they don’t have to arrest you to just being scumbags when they arrest you
Please focus on heroin that’s killing people everyday
BPD shouldn’t even waste the paperwork on weed
Fred Soper heroin makes politicians rich. Rehabs institutions treatment. Weed makes people happy. Schmbags cant have that.
Get those weed busts in. About to be legal. Extort citizens while you still can.
Hollow point bullets are legal. Just like weed will be on the 4th. Losers trying to sensationalize they bullshit unconstitutional breaking and robbery of a citizens home.
Jay Johnson not if the person in possession of them is not permitted to possess a firearm,which was also one of the charges.
Jay Johnson okay armchair lawyer you are not allowed to be in possession of a gun and drugs at the same time whether you legally own that gun or not.
A raid for reefer?
Overkill much?
Jen Andzeski 3 letters G-U-N
Guessing all those complaining missed the .38 caliber revolver “loaded with HOLLOW POINT ammunition.”
Bernie Neuhaus while i 100% agree you should not be in possession of guns and drugs at the same time And it is illegal at that, all guns unless they are at the range should contain hollow points.
If you have to use your weapon, hollow points are far safer then ball rounds.
Less than 2 ounces of pot? I mean I’m glad there’s an illegal gun off the street for sure though.
Murphy cutting the competition so ya have to buy his mega taxed weed????????????
Good job
A no knock warrant for pot?? That’s just fucking retarded. Could have gotten an officer killed or citizens killed being so reckless with allowing said warrant. Whoever approved it should resign
