Police in suburban Philadelphia specifically targeting the sale of prescription pills and controlled substances made a “significant” bust of drugs including oxy, Molly and speed over the weekend.
The Gloucester Township Special Investigations Unit arrested Tyryn Russell Saturday after a two-month investigation into Russell’s alleged drug-dealing activities in the La Cascata neighborhood of Camden County, New Jersey.
Investigators found a “significant quantity” of prescription pills inside Russell’s Clementon home on the 100 block of La Cascata. Some of the pills recovered in the home included oxydocone hydrochloride (oxy), suboxone, endocet alprazolam, amphetamines (speed) and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or Molly), according to police.
Investigators also found lots of cash and packaging material’s inside the 34-year-old’s home, police said.
State and local child protection services were called to Russell’s home to offer services to a woman and three children inside the home at the time of the drug bust. Police released the woman without charges.
Russell remained in county jail Tuesday unable to post $75,000 cash bail as he faces a slew of charges including drug possession, drug distribution and related counts.
Township police heralded Russell’s arrest as “another example of the continued enhanced criminal enforcement campaigns targeting those who illegally distribute narcotics in Gloucester Township.”
