ASBURY PARK — Police arrested a 52-year-old city man and seized thousands of
dollars worth of heroin from his home, authorities said.
The arrest of Christopher Bibby came after a two to three-week investigation
by the Asbury Park Police Department's Street Crimes Unit, under the
supervision of Lt. David DeSane and Sgt. Amir Bercovicz, police said.
On Saturday, officers arrested Bibby at his Fourth Avenue home, where they
also
confiscated 25 bricks of heroin, with a street value of roughly $18,000 to
$24,000, said Bercovicz.
He said a brick of heroin contains 50 packets of the drug, which are worth
about $15 to $20 on the street.
Bibby was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance,
possession with intent to distribute, possession in a school zone and
possession
within 500 feet of a public park.
The drug possession charge is a second-degree offense, which carries a five
to
10-year-prison term, if convicted.
Bibby was also charged with simple assault in connection with a domestic
violence case, police said.
Bercovicz said the arrest and seizure also resulted in further information
for
additional investigations.
Bibby was sent to the Monmouth County Jail, Freehold Township, with bail
set at
$100,000. He was released on a bail bond Sunday.
