A 28-year-old man wanted in Passaic County for sentencing on drug charges is being held without bail following his arrest Thursday in a motel, authorities said.
Pernell Brooks, 28, was flushing crack cocaine down a toilet when five detectives two from Secaucus and three from the Passaic County Sheriff’s Department walked into his room at the Red Roof Inn about 10 a.m., said Sgt. Kathy Krzysko, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff’s Department.
Brooks, whose last known address is 68 President St., Passaic, was wanted on five warrants for failing to appear in Passaic County Superior Court for sentencing, Krzysko said.
Krzysko said the detectives recovered $10,000 worth of crack cocaine, some of it in jumbo vials, and about 500 empty vials.
Brooks faces charges in Secaucus and Passaic County for possession of cocaine, possession of the drug with intent to distribute, possession of paraphernalia, hindering his arrest by allegedly flushing the drug down the toilet, and maintaining a drug production facility.
