SECAUCUS, NJ – Following a tip from a concerned citizen, Secaucus police arrested 61-year-old Josephine Dimoplon on drug distribution charges earlier this month. The initial report, received in early May, alleged that Dimoplon was involved in distributing crack/cocaine, prompting an investigation led by Detective Sergeant Matthew Ford of the Secaucus Police Anti-Crime Unit.
On Friday at 7:46 PM, Dimoplon was pulled over on Centre Avenue for not signaling a turn. During the stop, officers found her in possession of suspected crack/cocaine, resulting in her immediate arrest. The Secaucus Police K-9 Unit, including Officer Tyler Pein and K-9 Brix, confirmed the presence of drugs, detecting the scent emanating from Dimoplon’s vehicle. A subsequent search revealed additional quantities of the substance.
Police Chief Dennis Miller assured residents that the department takes all tips seriously and is committed to maintaining the community’s safety. He expressed pride in the Anti-Crime Unit’s continuous success in handling such cases. Dimoplon now faces multiple charges, including possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance, possession of a controlled substance, and intent to distribute within 500 feet of a public park.
She is currently being held at the Hudson County Jail, pending further legal proceedings.
