County detectives nabbed an Idaho man on Thanksgiving Day who was bringing 52 pounds of marijuana into Ocean County to sell, officials said Friday.<\/p>\n

David L. Lincoln, 65, of Ketchum, Idaho, was identified in an investigation as being a suspect in the importation of large amounts of marijuana into the county, said Capt. Jack Sramaty of the prosecutor\u2019s office\u2019s Special Operations Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the course of the investigation detectives learned that Lincoln allegedly travels across the country to locations on the east coast, including\u00a0Ocean County, delivering large amounts of marijuana. Detectives learned that Lincoln used\u00a0a red, 1997 Jeep Cherokee and a small towable pop-up camper to store and deliver the quantities of pot to his customers.<\/p>\n

On Thanksgiving morning, detectives from the Special Operations Group, members of the Jackson Township Police Department and the Ocean County Sheriff\u2019s Department K-9 Unit located the Jeep\u00a0and towable camper traveling in the area of Houston Avenue in Jackson Township. Officers\u00a0conducted a motor vehicle stop on the Jeep Cherokee and camper\u00a0and arrested Lincoln.<\/p>\n

Detectives obtained search warrants for the Jeep and camper, and\u00a0seized approximately 52 pounds of marijuana along with approximately $118,000 dollars in cash, Sramaty said. Detectives with the Prosecutor\u2019s Financial Crimes Unit located bank accounts utilized by Lincoln to facilitate the\u00a0illegal activity, and seized them as well, he said.<\/p>\n

The seized marijuana has an approximate street value of $150,000 dollars. Police also seized the Jeep\u00a0and the pop-up camper pending forfeiture proceedings.<\/p>\n

Superior Court Judge Rochelle Gizinski set bail on Lincoln at\u00a0$575,000 cash. Lincoln was subsequently processed and housed in the Ocean County Jail in lieu of bail. Detectives with the prosecutor\u2019s Special Operations Group are continuing their investigation through the holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dedication and commitment of the detectives of both the Special Operations Group and the Financial Crimes Unit are second to none,\u201d Sramaty said in a statement. \u201cAs a team, the Prosecutor\u2019s Office will continue to follow Prosecutor Coronato\u2019s mandates by relentlessly identifying, investigating and prosecuting the dealers who are operating in and around Ocean County.\u201d<\/p>\n
