'DEALING' WITH MOM
Cops say she, son and his two pals sold drugs Tuesday, March 28, 2006 By CARLY BALDWIN JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A Jersey City mother helped her 16-year-old son and two of his friends run a large-scale drug operation out of her Montgomery Gardens apartment, according to city spokesman Stan H. Eason. The 49-year-old woman was arrested Friday night along with her son and his two friends, ages 15 and 17, after police discovered drugs, guns and large amounts of drug-sale money in the first-floor apartment, reports said. One of the son's friends is a ranking member of the "Bloods" street gang, said Eason. ersey City police officers from the Gang Squad burst into the apartment at 7:20 p.m. after receiving numerous reports of illegal activity inside, Eason said. The mother was in the living room and the three teens were in a rear bedroom, said Eason. Cops ordered the teens to show their hands, but the boys refused and began to run around the room, said Eason, adding that one boy tried to hide in a closet. After the four were handcuffed, police searched them and the apartment, reports said. The woman's son was carrying a concealed fully loaded .22 caliber handgun, police said. On top of the bedroom dresser, police found four clear plastic bags of suspected cocaine and one of suspected heroin, marked "Playground Legend," according to reports. After searching the bedroom closet, police found a second fully loaded handgun in a plastic bag, reports said. Also inside the bag were 28 vials of suspected cocaine and 49 bags of heroin, labeled "Jet Blue," police said. One of the teens, a 17-year-old Grant Avenue resident, was searched and police found $394 in suspected drug money in his pants pocket, reports said. Drug paraphernalia was also found in the kitchen closet, police said. The boys were taken to the Juvenile Bureau and the 49-year-old was taken to the Street Crimes Unit, police said. "Police believe that she was a willing participant in the scheme," said Eason.
