Three men were arrested on drug charges after a tipster told city police they were selling cocaine on West Street on Tuesday night.
Fernando Hernandez, 29, of Palisades Park; Uriel Capata, 22, of New York City, and German Rodriguez, 45, of Englewood were being held in the Bergen County Jail, each on $35,000 bail.
They were charged with possession of cocaine, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, and possession of an illegal drug within 1,000 feet of a school, said Englewood Police Capt. C. Kenneth Tinsley. Police also seized more than $1,000 and the 1985 Chevrolet car that Hernandez drove, he said.
An anonymous caller told police at about 7:15 p.m. that the three men were seen selling drugs on West Street, Tinsley said.
Detective Joseph Martin cut the car off at West Street’s intersection with Palisade Avenue. A dog from the Bergen County Police Department canine unit found about 38 grams of pure cocaine, worth about $40,000, in the car, Tinsley said. Most of the cocaine was hidden under the air-conditioning compartment in the car, he said.
