Two men and a woman from Vermont were arrested Saturday after Paramus police stopped them for erratic driving on Route 17. The three were charged with possession of an automatic pistol, hollow-nose bullets, and 3 1/2 ounces of rock cocaine.
Dennis Dostie, 24; Raymond Wescott, 26, and Sheryl Mayville, 29, all from Milton, Vt., were stopped at about 2:30 a.m. at the intersection of Routes 4 and 17.
Police charged them with possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute, possession of paraphernalia with intent to distribute, and illegal possession of the weapon and ammunition. They were being held in the county jail on $25,000 bail each.
Paramus Police Chief Joseph Delaney said the car did not have license plates and was weaving from lane to lane.
In addition to the drugs, police said they found a loaded Intertech-9, a 9mm automatic pistol with 36-round ammunition magazine, including 20 hollow-nose bullets.
“To see this weapon, it’s unbelievable,” Delaney said. “It’s an awesome weapon. A magazine carrying 36 rounds you can take down half a police force with that. It shows you what firepower these officers face on the streets. “
Police in New Jersey are not allowed to carry guns holding more than 15 rounds each, Delaney said.
