In what police call a continuing crackdown on drug transactions, 15 people have been arrested during the past week.
The arrests occurred during routine motor-vehicle stops or during surveillance for ongoing investigations, Hackensack Police Detective Sgt. Mike Mordaga said.
Except for a Hartford, Conn., man, all of those arrested were from Hackensack.
The latest arrest was made about 9:30 p.m. Thursday, when Julius Williams, 26, of 27 Newman St., was allegedly seen selling cocaine at First Street and Central Avenue, Mordaga said.
When officers approached him, Williams took off in his car, leading police on a high-speed chase. He abandoned the car on Lehigh Street and fled on foot, Mordaga said.
Jumping backyard fences and ducking into alleyways, Williams made his way to Railroad Avenue, where he was arrested.
Williams was being held in lieu of $10,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail on Friday. He was charged with possessing and distributing cocaine and heroin, distributing drugs within 1,000 feet of a school, and resisting arrest.
