A trio of men are facing numerous drug-related charges after Toms River police say they tried to pull over a vehicle, only to it flee with its occupants throwing bricks of heroin out the window.<\/p>\n

The incident took place June 14, Toms River police said in a statement Friday. Initially, Officer Phil Bianco decided to pull the 2019 Jeep Cherokee over after he noticed it was speeding in the southbound lanes.<\/p>\n

“The suspects continued at a high rate of speed while throwing bricks of heroin out the window … onto the highway, disregarding the red traffic signals,” police spokeswoman Jillian Messina said.<\/p>\n

The suspects are identified as Ambiorix Ramirez, 19, of New Brunswick, Allen Pittman, 28 of South Plainfield, and Nasiyr Peters, 21, of Jamesburg.<\/p>\n

Officers collected 16 bundles of suspect heroin, a cellophane bag containing suspected oxycontin, and an undisclosed amount of cash. An Ocean County Sheriff Department K-9 officer responded to check the area for additional drugs. The incident remains under investigation, additional charges are pending, Messina said.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019d like to thank all of the assisting agencies, as well as the many vigilant witnesses on scene,” Messina said in the statement.<\/p>\n

A search of records showed Ramirez and Peters were lodged in the Ocean County Jail. There was no record of Pittman at the jail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
