Maybe we could use the heroin to kill off the jellyfish!

Execute the scum, really throw a slug into the back of their head. This is getting out of control, we shouldn't have to worry about drug dealers and thieves just get them out if our society. And put the bail a million.

totally agree!!!!

Why only $15,000 bail for an obvious group of organized heroin dealers? Where is Judge Hoffman's common sense. These dealers will be out on bail in no time dealing their junk and killing more of our children. Bail should have been $150,000.

Shut up u idiots,execute them over drugs please? I hate people like you because u sound like your perfect&high &almighty

it can happen to the best of us, chill on the judgement, there is an epidemic out there, if its not oxy , its heroin, educate your children and dont let them out of your sight.

Can't fix STUPID!!!!! LOL

Won't have to worry about them being back on the streets for at least 3-5 years, due to the amount they had on them. It won't even matter if they never were arrested before, they are done.

Hope they don't mind missing out on most of their 30's.

Deeznuts, your right , no body's perfect but this drugs are killing our kids and everyone want to turn a blind eye or create another law. You know Toms River is on the way to being the next Newark. Execute them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes... execute them. The same War on Drugs mentality that has not worked for thirty years or more. They were probably selling to people whose first dealers were their parents and their medicine cabinets. If we treat addiction rather than kneejerk criminalization, the demand will be cut off and guys like this will have to find another livelihood.

These blights on our society need to eradicated - Give them an "overdose" of their own medicine and let them die the same way they would allow one of their clients die - Problem solved - I don't understand how anybody can justify what they were intending - Great Job OCPD & TRPD - I know it's an uphill battle but get them when you can - 1500 hits off of the streets - unfortunately, a miniscule percentage of what is out there. But all the same if just one life was saved from an OD it was well worth the effort.......

$15,000 bail Judge Hoffman?
3 out of 4 are already out according to Ocean County Jail Inmate search. These are the guys that sell to the guys that burglarize your homes and pawn your stuff at these
"We Buy Gold" pawnshops which are springing up all of TR.

&To let u know i've been to Prison 3 times over Heroin. &i've been out for 2 years & haven't had a 1 TICKET SINCE b/c i'm done with that life. &to give u a thought of what type of person I am,the volunteer fire dept was doing a fund drive in South Toms River I gave them $100 out of $110 I had on me to help them b/oc their the best our society has to offer,&i watched so called probably"drug free working class ppl&families" blow by w/o a damn pennyy or thank you when they asked,no f'ing acknowledge meant!!! 1/2 the"normal folk" wouldn't even look at them to say sorry I don't hsve change,i felt disgusted,point being,i thought these are the same ppl who call me"scum"but won't help ppl who help them!! &i only make $250 a week b/c of my record&that limits me to low $ jobs which is all MY FAULT!! I would've gave them the whole $250 if I had it,kept the $10 to fill my bike tire I ride 5miles to work.good thing I didn't executed to make up for all the regular inconsiderate folk who only care about themselves!!

WHAT !!!!!!!??????????

Idiots , us ? Who's the idiot that dealing drugs ? See here's how it is , drugs are illegal and most people that use them screw up their lives. No drug dealers = no drugs, you see its NOT normal to do drugs and although people do screw up and do them , it would have never happened if drug dealers were Executed. Sorry thats my opinion and I'm entitled to it.

Dawn they were dealing drugs , their low life scum. There's no other way to put it. Did you ever stop and think that 1500 people , yes people , could have over dosed. That's 1500 charges of murder, oh but wait , who cares they got their money. I care and so do a lot of other people.

If you are all so outradged on what just happened...instead of talking about it, get involed with the community to put an end to what TR is becomming! No one OD YET, it was an ongoing investigation that was closely watched by law enforcement! Help keep the drugs off of our streets!! If they are using drugs or dealing them they need help, put them in rehab, jail isn't gonna help them. I just hope they get the help they need before its too late and there parents, family and friends are at there funeral!

I wonder if there's a contest going on. Brick caught 1600 bags. I wonder if the TR dealers ratted out the Brick dealers. LOL lets see them all get even.....LOL

I also wonder home many homes were broken into to afford that much junk.

I am far from perfect, but I think I was a little smarter before trying to read some of these comments & my code breaking skills must be lacking, because Deeznuts has used words(?) and symbols that I have never seen...however, I was glad to read the very important part of his comment...He Doesn't Live That Life Anymore...it shows that you can try to live a good productive life, if you're willing...congrats to you...seriously.
As far as the judicial system goes, thanks for making it so easy for these jerks to get back on the streets and finish the job they set out to do...POISONING OUR SOCIETY!!! Good job by law enforcement for doing their job, sorry nobody is backing you up once Your job is done.
And yes, good kids make bad choices...its unfortunate for those who make REALLY BAD CHOICES, and get themselves into this type of lifestyle.

"these people aren't bad people " are you kidding me !!!!! Lets focus here, drug dealers are scum. How do you know I had the "easy life" , love how you assume that.

Still waiting to see in the news the names of the people who introduced my child to this terrible epidemic. I want to see that they are arrested and doing time. They get away with so much.

I actually feel they know someone in the system that helps them get off each time.

Part of the problem is that once the source that distributes this poison ends up thrown in a jail cell, they often tell themselves, “I don't belong here with violent offenders (rape, murder) I was just trying to keep the "party" alive". But, here is your REALITY CHECK, when you are the supplier of a substance that targets the most vulnerable of people of their drive, future, and soul, you are entertaining the hand of the devil. It is violence in its sneakiest most back-handed form. It evolves, and spreads in a sinister fashion and often rears its ugly head in violent crime. While I applaud with utmost sincerity anyone who walks through the fire of addiction, then comes through tempered and stronger on the other side, let’s not forget the lessons learned while you were there.

@Jenn...Amen!
@FyouJUDGMENTAL...it seems you are doing the judging as well...execution, I agree is extreme, but maybe those people have lost people they know to drugs, and in their eye, your friends, the "not bad people" could partially be responsible, if not remind them of people who helped take their loved one from them...an eye for an eye...that being said, just because someone grows up differently from someone else, doesn't mean they've had an "easy life"...anyone could end up where these people did, most have CHOSEN not to...it is a CHOICE and its an illegal choice with consequences if and when you get caught! So before you sir/madam go passing judgment on other peoples lives, consider where they too are coming from.

Oh and "Casey"...nobody claims to be a perfect parent, but we DO like to think we've taught them well enough so that they don't end up like these 4 and many others...

TRPD Chief: What happened on Kenton Dr. last night with all the police and blood hounds searching the area ? Fischer , Kenton and Crystal dr.by Wawa , PBA BBQ ???Is Mom & son up to the drug den again???? Or house arrest escapee ??? Another Fri and the weekend in TR....seems to happen EVERY weekend inTombsriver by the bay.

@FyouJudgementalAholes thank you for someone finally making sense and having some basic human decency for PEOPLE, yes they are still people. I bet if some of these people had their way and had as many people executed as they want half their own families would be gone, and THEN the punishment wouldn't seem so just.

Exactly Ryan

Listen! I'm jordanlaurenzo! I was one of the ppl involved. First off I'm an addict not a dealer! Execute me cause of mistakes I take full responsibility for! I never ment to be an addict! I had a lot of problems in my life! Never once did ever thought this problem would turn to that! I'm sorry for my actions an intend on bettering myself! So execute a man with no harm or hate in his heart for neone! This is my first offense n my last!

N ryan attiya, deeznuts, fyoujudge n everyone else that's humain! Ty for understanding!

How many time do you thing they CHOSE to sell drugs ? Police were watching them for quite sometime, seems they may have made the WRONG CHOICE quite a few times.

Ryan we're talking about drug dealers not the addicts. ( no drug dealers = no addicts) that's what my point is , if the drug dealers were really taken of the street there would be no addicts. Oh and I've made mistakes in my life ( never with drugs or hurting anyone) one of my mistakes early in life was not taking school seriously , hence some of my spelling. I guess my spelling is the only thing you can find wrong.

The moment we really start.helping people with their addiction .. is the moment we STOP drug dealing, overdosing, etc ..

Ryan point well taken, Ty. I just think stop the supply so these poor soles have a better chance of recovering. I grew up in Toms River (44 years) and I've been see it go down the tubes faster the past few years. Hope all recover well.

@jeff .. if one person doesn't supply theyll find another one that will.

Use of obscenity, as well as personal attacks and potentially libelous statements, is a violation of site policies. Those comments will be flagged for deletion. Don't make them. Thanks.

I think and no that jordan and jay are both two men with goood intentions and great hearts. they made mistakes, you live and you learn. everyone should quit passing judgement. NO ONE is perfect! keep your head up boys!!! <3

@1stcav why is it always something criminal when there are police in the area?? They were searching for a missing elderly party! Guessing you didn't see the fire trucks or ambulances right ?

Maybe people should STOP helping the addict and only help and support these individuals during sobriety times. You can not help an addict. Only they can. But you can support recovery.

1500 bags between 4 people is about a 2 week supply estimating they have roughly a 20 bag a day habbit. and it's cheaper to buy bulk.

How about we stop and think what we should do about drug addiction. It is a disease just like cancer or diabetics. The insurance companies will only pay for 30 day treatment which is insane. They need year long programs to learn how to live drug free. My son had been in and out of 8 rehabs. The insurance company laid out over 100.000 dollars when in reality they could have saved half of that by doing it right in the first place. But that's besides the point. These guys need help and jail is not the answer....they are sick and the government needs to step up to the plate and help these poor souls. Just my opinion.

To claim personal use can be away to avoid distribution charges. I dont know why the system isn't hip to that just yet! One would prefer sentencing to a rehab even if they dont use, over prison. I don't the people involved nor do I know if they are addicts or dealers, but we need to get these drugs off the streets! Pills, Heroin, Crack, it all kills!!!!

First things first, drug addiction is NOT like cancer. Drug addict is in MOST cases a CHOICE. Unless someone stuck that needle, forced you to sniff that coke, etc. then it was your choice to TRY an addicting drug. I do feel for the people, and more so the families affect by this drug epidemic going on. I truly hope that anyone using gets the help needed, but there is nothing the state or rehabs can do unless the addict wants the help. Educate your kids early on and hope for the best. It's a scary world out there.

Sorry for some mistakes in my typing, I am on a phone but something I truly feel passionate about. I relate with both sides of the situation.

Kelly unless you understand addiction you cannot make that statement. It is a disease and please do some research and maybe you well understand.

I do not claim to be an expert about addiction. But I do know relapse is also part of recovery. Mary I'm sorry for your situation. I hope you have support for yourself along with your son. You are in my prayers. I know this is a living nightmare for you. I hope that at times when he is not using drugs you allow yourself a little reprieve also.

Reality is there is no one out there who has never tried alcohol or any kind of drug. Just happens that my son was given a script from at dr. And well he became addicted. Someone else wouldn't. You just never know

You just never know is right.
Its a scary epidemic, that has only gotten worse......

my prayers go out to those suffering.

One of these pieces of crap lives with his mother next door to me. He doesn't work, has no respect for anyone. While his mom is at work, there are people in and out of the house all day, and at 2 and 3 in the morning. He has a child who I've seen left on his own for hours. He's out on bail and back in his mothers house. He's a real loser and I can't believe that his mother has taken him back in. He does nothing for her around the house. If she didn't take in the trash cans they would be out there forever. His dealing has been his lifestyle for years, and it will continue. I hope he goes to prison. Take these losers off the streets and maybe some lives will be saved.

Notice to All: The epidemic you speak of affects thw entire country, not solely theory enclave of Toms River. What came 1st the chicken or the egg ... the urge or the addict ... the addict or the dealer? What does it matter? It is an on-going cycle of insanity. Each cycle a link in the chain with its own story. Each lintertwines ... each may unknowingly (or not), be a particularly of your own life. It is not so cut & dry. We are all more touched than we believe (or possibly choose to. That's human nature

And before anyone corrects my grammar, the typo-o's are due to.the auto-anticipated coice the program THINKS not necessarily what was meant to be said. Besides ... who types perfectly on a phone anyway & who cares? I
sn't it about what U are trying to say?

And before anyone corrects my grammar, the typo-o's are due to the auto-anticipated choice the program THINKS not necessarily what was meant to be said. Besides ... who types perfectly on a phone anyway & who care ? Isn't it about what U are trying to say?

LISTEN.. I'm sadly related to ones of these idiots and I can tell u for a fact that he has put his family thru mental and financial strain trying to help him.. 60K in rehab only to come out and do it again.. And yes he has a child who will suffer, again. Enough is enough. 15K is pathetic.. Get them off the streets already. U wanna push in our community, go be someone's Bi&@$ in our jail.....

People mess up all the time this is a recovering herion addicted who was n prison for 6 years used from 15 until 21 is it right they were selling drugs no absolutely not but guess what nobody held a gun to the buyers head and said buy this or youll die if the buyer didnt get it from them guess what they wouldve took a drive to the streets of newark, nine out of ten people sell to support there habit not making it okay or right But prison truly saved my life and through the grace of that ive saved others ( kids who started on that path) people who are using drugs already feel low so yes society beat them down more lets prosecute them what a joke people change and sometimes.need that eye opener trust the citizens wanted me off the streets, if it wasnt them getting caught it wouldve been someone else .... Everyone is getting mad at the people but its the addiction that needs to be addressed there not bad people theyve done bad things i know a few of these guys and went to school with them unfortunately they got caught up and hopefully will pay the price learn and never go back.......this is coming from someone who lived that path with 9 years clean, great job, graduated school, and live and work for a living and nobody thought i could....if it were up to the community my head wouldve been slayed long ago...

Couldn't agree more...they need help

My name is mike vassallo and I'm one of the guys that got in trouble my only mistake that day was decinding to give those guys a ride to go get stuff in exchange for a few bags because I was dopesick that day. There were no cops watching me because I wasn't dealing none of that herion was even mine n I got the same charges n got my car taken lost my job n my family all because I'm an addict n I was sixk that day I don't deserve jail! I'm in rehab now been here for over 4 months I would have mever done anuthing like that if I was sober screwed over n u guys better admit the truth n tell prosecuter none of that stuff was mine please guys tell thetruth n man up thankas mike

It was not a mistake...It was a deliberate act of choosing to go get some drugs... I hear all of you say "They are sick and an addict and need help BUT as a mother of an addict It will never end. You are 100% correct they need help but they choose to need help.... They also choose to get help and as soon as they are free from the trouble at hand they go back...An addict can go threw rehab after rehab if they dont want to stop they won't..... Dealers start the ball rolling and the addicts keep it rolling...Murders are mentally ill so with the following opinions here you are stating they should be free and just get help bc they are essentially same as an addict (mentally ill at this time)...Mentality of our country is in the toliet...My question is if the county or government can find a person didnt get a permit to do some renovations or person doesnt pay their taxes the government can find you and in record time then why cant the government find the drugs coming in??? BC they are all in on the gravy train...Fix the corrupt police,border controllers and most of all Lawyers and court system then
maybe something MIGHT change...
