City police, responding to residents complaints of rampant drug dealing at their apartment building, have arrested two men they saw allegedly selling cocaine in the parking lot.
Fernando Hernandez, 29, of 28 E. Palisade Ave., Palisades Park, and Nelson Adarve, 34, of 31 W. Englewood Ave., Englewood, were being held in the Bergen County Jail Friday on $100,000 bail.
About 7:15 p.m. Thursday, detectives Edward Murray and Charles Gormley saw Hernandez, with Adarve sitting next to him, drive into the parking lot of the building at 143 Tenafly Road, honk his horn, and sell a packet to a tenant, who was not arrested, said Englewood Police Capt. C. Kenneth Tinsley.
The two then drove to Sunnyside Park in Englewood, where they picked up Timothy Maloney, 26. Shortly afterward, police, who were following in an unmarked car, attempted to pull them over. They sped off, but the chase ended a short while later on Marcotte Lane in Tenafly when they crashed into a tree.
Charges against Hernandez and Adarve include possession of 65 grams of cocaine, worth about $8,000; possession of the drug within 1,000 feet of a school; possession with intent to distribute; reckless driving, and eluding police, Tinsley said.
Maloney, whose last known address was 177 Pleasant Ave., Englewood, was charged with possession of cocaine and released on his own recognizance, Tinsley said.
