Jersey City municipal worker accused in drug trafficking, money laundering scheme

A worker with Jersey City's health department was led out of City Hall in handcuffs on Tuesday after he was indicted in New York as part of an alleged drug distribution and money laundering scheme operating in three states.

Jose Martinez, 40, was charged with conspiracy after an eight-month investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the DEA says in a press release issued today. The agency says it seized multiple kilograms of cocaine and marijuana and about $270,000 in cash.
